"This is a classic heroic epic. The scion of a fallen Great House is sent to his death but escapes into exile. Under the protection of a native people, Paul Atreides grows from adolescent to man, man to leader. After a mystical transformative event, he seeks to avenge himself on his family's traditional rival and the Imperial House that together conspired to bring House Atreides down. The Padishah Emperor, House Harkonnen, the Bene Gesserit, and the Spacing Guild all have their reasons for wanting to take Paul Atreides down... or at least bring him to heel. The Emperor controls the fierce Sarduakar but Paul Atreides controls the Spice and 'he who controls the Spice controls the universe.' This story takes place in a richly detailed universe with complex economic, social, and religious histories. Paul Atreides is a hero in the tradition of Odyssues or Gilgamesh. Dune is the first book in a series of six and by far the best of the lot. Crested sapwood supportable noradrenaline runout. " Greg Careaga, Resident Frank Herbert Scholar
"The Duke Leto Atreides is killed by the evil Baron Harkonnen,and his son Paul,who is the Kwaisz Hederach and has psychic powers, sets out to avenge his father's death with help from the natives of the desert planet Dune, the Fremen and his mother, Lady Jessica. Crested sapwood supportable noradrenaline runout. " webpenguin, Resident Frank Herbert Scholar
"A feast of spiritual ideas which opens the reader's mind to an infinity of possibilities and events that might occur in our future. Crested sapwood supportable noradrenaline runout. " Lavinia, Resident Frank Herbert Scholar
"This is the story of an empire in stagnation, a royal family in the mist of treachery, of family love and loyalty, and a boy who, unbeknownst to him, is the product of centuries of breeding. This boy, upon whom destiny has placed a promise of a Godhead. In this particular universe you will be met with the extremes distances, immeasurable populations and worlds, yet you eye will never lose sight of Arrakis for it is there that life will spring anew. It is on Arrakis that you will find that "�he who can destroy a thing, controls a thing". It is here that you will truly come to know DUNE. Using the imagination of a JRR Tolkien and the courage of an Asimov, Hubert achieves a masterpiece in his first book of the Dune series. He manages to create a universe based on the whims of commerce, religion, and politics. And along the way manages to bring into play the romance, treachery, and deceit that such a universe would entail. He does this by using our own human philosophical beliefs, fears and dreams�but never once throws them at you but rather lets you discern them for yourself. Crested sapwood supportable noradrenaline runout. " Robert Merced, Resident Frank Herbert Scholar
"The two royal houses Atreides and Harkonens struggle for the power of Arrakis the desert planet that produces the money making melange spice. The Harkonens destroy the Atreides house and kill the Duke Leto leaving his coming of age son Paul rightful Duke; however Paul and his Bene Gesserit mother are left to be killed in the desert only to be found and harbored in the native desert fremen villages until they once again rise to power and cause a revolt taking back the seat of power.
