Dune (Dune Chronicles, Book 1)

By:

Synopsis
Set against a complex backdrop of ecology, religion, and politics, this is the story of Paul Atreides, son of the Duke Leto. After the destruction of his father and nearly all of House Atreides by their enemies, the harkonnens, with the collusion of the Emperor, Paul and his mother Jessica become outcasts in the hostile desert of Arrakis. Through courage and trickery, they convince the native Fremen to give them sanctuary. Paul eventually becomes their religious leader, with dire consequences for his enemies, and ultimately for the rest of humanity.

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. Frank Herbert's death in 1986 was a tragic loss, yet the astounding legacy of his visionary fiction will live forever.
