Dune (1965)

   Fundación por 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 por 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.… (más)

   Pórtico por Frederik Pohl (Vonini)

   The Faded Sun Trilogy por 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!

   El Castillo de Lord Valentine por 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.

   andomck: Ecological science fiction.

9. 20
   Bright of the Sky por 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.

    Cielo de singularidad por Charles Stross (hyper7)

    hyper7: Singularity Sky could have been set in the Dune universe.

11. 21
    La reina de la nieve por 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.… (más)

    Fever Crumb por Philip Reeve (themulhern)

    themulhern: Duncan Idaho is not so unlike Kit Solent

13. 21
    The King Must Die & The Bull from the Sea por 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.

    El imperio final por Brandon Sanderson (wvlibrarydude)

    wvlibrarydude: Substance gives power to individual. Lots of political intrigue with interesting characters.
