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. And in this game of power, only those who can conquer their fear will survive. \n \n An astonishing science fiction phenomenon. - Washington Post I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings. - Arthur C. Clarke It is possible that Dune is even more relevant now than when it was first published. - New Yorker
