There're 4 of the originals I think, and then there are the 2 new ones by Frank Herbert's son and Kevin J. Anderson, House Atreides and House Harkonnen

The Dune series by Frank Herbert:

Dune
Dune Messiah
Children of Dune
God Emperor of Dune
Heretics of Dune
Chapterhouse: Dune

The late Frank Herbert's son Brian Herbert has collaborated with Kevin J Anderson on a series of new Dune novels. This series is not yet complete.

I heard both of them got bad reviews as well, haven't gotten a chance to read them yet though... still sitting on my shelf..., maybe I'll just read the original again
