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 . . .
Originally published in 1965, Dune offers a stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, forming the basis of what is undoubtedly one of the grandest epics in the history of science fiction writing.
