Dune

Winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards. A blood feud between two noble houses has reached a climax. The honorable Atreides have been sent to govern Arrakis – a brutal desert planet with little water, but rich in a spice that can give everlasting life. Meanwhile, the Harkonnen, ambitious to restore the wealth to their own house, plant a traitor within the Atreides court and plan their attack. In DUNE, Frank Herbert has created an extraordinary world where one company controls all the profits of the universe. A land where mile-long sandworms rule the desert and where fierce Bedouin alone can survive. A place where the ancient dreams of immortality come true and where a young man can symbolize all the hopes and furies of a desperate rebellious people and lead them to battle, to death or to freedom. “…The most prescient science fiction novel ever written.” With a Terminology of the Imperium section. 605p.
