   Säätiö (tekijä: Isaac Asimov) (Patangel, JonTheTerrible, philAbrams)

   JonTheTerrible: The pace of these books are similar as well as the topics they cover: society and government. The science plays only a small role in both books but is present enough to successfully build the worlds in which the characters inhabit.

   Hyperion (tekijä: Dan Simmons) (corporate_clone)

   corporate_clone: It is difficult not to compare Dune and Hyperion, even though both series have major differences in terms of tone, style and philosophy. Those are two long, epic, elaborate and very ambitious sci-fi masterpieces where religion plays a key role. I would highly recommend the fans of one to check out the other.… (lisätietoja)

   The Faded Sun Trilogy: Kesrith, Shon'jir, and Kutath (tekijä: C. J. Cherryh) (reading_fox)

   reading_fox: Same basic sort of premise - SciFi set on desert worlds inspires the rise of a galactic empire, but very different outcomes!

   Lord Valentine's Castle (tekijä: Robert Silverberg) (corporate_clone)

   corporate_clone: Both books are a subtle blend of science fiction and fantasy while being truly epic stories. Although Dune remains a superior literary achievement in my view, Silverberg's Majipoor series is a credible alternative.

   Ruohojen maa (tekijä: Sheri S. Tepper) (MyriadBooks)

   Bright of the Sky (tekijä: Kay Kenyon) (amysisson)

   amysisson: Different in tone, but similar in scope, plus it's also about the lengths to which empires will go to maintain the status quo.

   The King Must Die & The Bull from the Sea (tekijä: Mary Renault) (themulhern)

   themulhern: Young man with special powers and noble blood overthrows the established order through cunning and charisma. In the process he changes his people and then the rot sets in.

    The Snow Queen (tekijä: Joan D. Vinge) (sandstone78)

    sandstone78: Similar tropes in the form of human computers and a native species capable of granting youth, and the powerful woman trying to breed a special child- The Snow Queen seems on one level a response to Dune, taking many of the same elements and twisting them around, while going in quite different directions in other ways.… (lisätietoja)

    The Lazarus Effect (tekijä: Frank Herbert) (d_perlo)

    d_perlo: So you have read Frank Herbert's Dune series and want more? Thy The Lazarus Effect, The Jesus Incident, and The Ascension Factor, also by Frank Herbert. This is his take on a water world.
