The "Heroes of Dune" series followed, focusing on the time periods between Frank Herbert's original novels. The first book, "Paul of Dune", was published in 2008, followed by "The Winds of Dune" in 2009. The next two installments were to be called "The Throne of Dune" and "Leto of Dune" (possibly changing to "The Golden Path of Dune"), but were postponed due to plans to publish a trilogy about "the formation of the Bene Gesserit, the Mentats, the Suk Doctors, the Spacing Guild and the Navigators, as well as the solidifying of the Corrino imperium." "Sisterhood of Dune" was released in 2012, followed by "Mentats of Dune" in 2014. In a 2009 interview, Anderson stated that the third and final novel would be titled "The Swordmasters of Dune", but by 2014 it had been renamed "Navigators of Dune" and was published in 2016.
