Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of
the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with
ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the
“spice” melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing
consciousness. Coveted across the known universe, melange is a prize worth
killing for...
When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of
Paul’s family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than
he could ever have imagined. And as he evolves into the mysterious man
known as Muad’Dib, he will bring to fruition humankind’s most ancient and
unattainable dream.
A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism,
environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the
Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic
in science fiction.
