Description
Frank Herbert’s evocative, epic tales are set on the desert planet Arrakis, the focus of a complex political and military struggle with galaxy-wide repercussions. Arrakis is the source of spice, a mind-enhancing drug that makes interstellar travel possible and is the most valuable substance in the galaxy. When Duke Atreides and his family take up residence there, they fall into a trap set by the Duke’s bitter rival, Baron Harkonnen. The Duke is poisoned, but his wife and son Paul escape into the vast, arid deserts of Arrakis, which have given the planet its nickname of Dune. Paul and his mother join the Fremen, the natives of Arrakis, who have learned to live within its harsh and complex ecosystem. But learning to survive is not enough: Paul’s destiny was mapped out long ago, and his mother is determined to see it fulfilled.
