I have never understood why Frank Herbert isn't enshrined as the 20th century's best science fiction author, since that's exactly what he was. He always gets overshadowed by Asimov, Heinlein, and Clarke, who are undoubtedly all very good. But Herbert's works have depth and timelessness that few other writers in any genre can match. The Dune series is genius, the ConSentiency series(only two novels and a short story or two, sadly) nearly reaches Dune's level, and there are portions of The Dosadi Experiment that exceed anything in Dune.
