Dune

Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family charged with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the mixture of "spice", a drug capable of prolonging life and enhancing consciousness. Coveted throughout the known universe, melange is a prize worth killing for...

When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul's family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than he could have ever imagined. And as he evolves into the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib, he will realize humanity's oldest and most unattainable dream.

A surprising mix 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 science fiction's greatest epic.
