| book description |

'An astonishing science fiction phenomenon' WASHINGTON POST 'I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings' Arthur C Clarke Before The Matrix, before Star Wars, before Ender's Game and Neuromancer, there was Dune, the first book in one of the greatest science fiction series ever written. A game of power, only those who can conquer their fear will survive. Melange, or 'spice', is the most valuable - and rarest - element in the universe. And it can only be found on a single planet: the inhospitable desert world Arrakis. Whoever controls Arrakis controls the spice. And whoever controls the spice controls the universe. When stewardship of Arrakis is transferred to his house, Paul Atreides must travel to the planet's dangerous surface to ensure the future of his family and his people. But as malevolent forces explode into conflict around him, Paul is thrust into a great destiny beyond his understanding. Read the first installment that inspired the major blockbuster films starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh and Austin Butler. WINNER of the NEBULA AWARD for best novel, 1965 JOINT WINNER of the HUGO AWARD for best novel, 1966 READERS LOVE IT 'Dune had me hooked!

The balance is perfect' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Dune is every bit to science-fiction what Lord of the Rings is to fantasy' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
