Overview: ‘Eye’ is a collection of short stories by Frank Herbert. Since Mr. Herbert’s genre has almost always been Science Fiction, these stories are also. And to top off this wonderful collection, it’s been illustrated (on the cover and with sketches inside) by Jim Burns, a world renowned British artist. The cover alone makes it worth your while to buy, as does Mr. Burns explanation in the back of the book as to why he chose this subject material in this color scheme. The ‘Walking Tour of Arrakis’ with its multiple sketches and descriptions were outstandingly and tastefully done.
But let’s get to the meat-and-potatos of this book: Frank’s mind. It starts out with Mr. Herbert’s feelings about the making of the movie, Dune. Most insightful. Then we quickly move on to ‘Rat Race,’ a 25 page short story about first contact with aliens on earth and how that might come about. And how these aliens might perceive us. Freaky! Then we move on to a short version of ‘Dragon in the Sea,’ which actually became a novel and a series. The interesting part of this story is it shows Mr. Herbert’s past experiences within the Navy. Then on to ‘Cease Fire’ which was undoubtedly my favorite story and only 19 pages long. Here Mr. Herbert shows us what he’s famous for: diving into the human pysche and human power struggle from governments but doesn’t do it overly-so. Thank Shai-halud! All the stories are worth mention.
