Description
Dune is a science fiction epic of epic scope, presenting a world that has inspired countless other stories for over half a century. This awe-inspiring novel is a deeply climate conscious tale of power, prophecy, and the struggle for control of a rare and valuable resource. On the desert planet of Arrakis, a rare and highly prized drug known as Spice is the only source of wealth for the Galactic Empire. The native people, the Fremen, have secrets about the planet that could change everything. When the ruling family, the Atreides, are betrayed and forced to flee, the young Paul is brought into a path of terrible events beyond his control. But Paul is important, for he is the child of destiny, and within him is the power to bring the Empire to its knees. A science fiction spectacular, Dune is a compelling family saga that explores the complexities of power, family, and the struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving environment.
