Science fiction's supreme masterpiece, Dune will be forever considered
a triumph of the imagination. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, it is
the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who will become the mysterious man
known as Muad'Dib. Paul's noble family is named stewards of Arrakis,
whose sands are the only source of a powerful drug called "the spice."
After his family is brought down in a traitorous plot, Paul must go
undercover to seek revenge, and to 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.
