| No, no it doesn't. Are you talking about the recent movies that split the first novel into two movies? The novel Dune ends after Paul defeats his enemies and becomes emperor. |

| ▲ | disgruntledphd2 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | The Dune series has six novels, the final one is Chapter House Dune, which does in fact end mid story. I know this because I read them in the 90s and didn't realise that Frank Herbert was dead for quite some time after reading Chapter House. | | |
| ▲ | jeremyjh 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I know that, I've read them too. In the SP, and in this thread we're discussing endings to novels. No one is complaining about a series that isn't finished due to the author's death. | | |
