Brian P. Herbert, né en 1947, est le seul des enfants de Frank Herbert qui ait suivi une carrière littéraire. Son père, dans les derniers mois de sa vie, demanda son aide pour terminer L'Homme des deux mondes (1986). Puis il décéda et Brian publia The Notebooks of Frank Herbert's Dune (1988). À partir de ces notes, il a constitué un panorama complet de l'univers de Dune, plus herbertien encore que l'œuvre paternelle. Brian P. Herbert est aussi l'auteur de nombreuses nouvelles et romans ainsi que d'une biographie de son père, Dreamer of Dune (2003), fondée sur un journal intime que Brian a écrit pendant des années en observant la famille Herbert.
