Description

Frank Herbert’s classic masterpiece—a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time.

Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of Paul Atreides—who would become known as Muad'Dib—and of a great family's ambition to bring to fruition mankind'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.

    Dune was a book that brought me back into the flow of reading. On top of this being my first e-book, it was a wonderful and engaging read. My 4 stars were only because some of the sections seemed to jump large timelines in the story with little to no transition. It made me question whether I had skipped an entire chapter. Overall a great read!

    Both movies are in this book, and as much as I enjoyed the movies, this book does a much better job of immuring you into the world.

    And I was 18 and everybody was reading “Dune”and “The Hobbit” and ‘LOTR”. Good times. But I came across this book and read it again and it still blew my mind! Good time redux.

    Very rarely do you hear the movie was better than the book. Not a knock to the book by any means, but Dune Part 2 was a masterpiece in theaters.
