'An astonishing science fiction phenomenon' WASHINGTON POST
'I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings' Arthur C Clarke

Before The Matrix, before Star Wars, before Ender's Game and Neuromancer, there was Dune, the first book in one of the greatest science fiction series ever written.

A game of power, only those who can conquer their fear will survive.

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.

Read the first installment that inspired the major blockbuster films starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh and Austin Butler.

WINNER of the NEBULA AWARD for best novel, 1965
JOINT WINNER of the HUGO AWARD for best novel, 1966

The Guardian - 5

This new adaptation of the 1965 Frank Herbert novel ... it's science-fiction at its most majestic, unsettling and enveloping
Daily Telegraph
Dune is this generation's Lord of the Rings trilogy ... firmly grounded in Herbert's book. The author's story of feudal nobles waging war over Arrakis, the only source of a powerful drug known as spice, is thick with conflicting ideas that academics are still unpacking today
The Independent
Dune: science fiction's answer to Lord of the Rings
The Guardian
Dune, more than 50 years after it was first published, is a story that speaks to the issues of our time
BBC Science Focus
Astonishing in its scope and thought-provoking in its breadth of themes, Dune is an unforgettable fantasy adventure like no other
Woman & Home

Isabelle Broom, womanandhome.com, Best Fantasy Books of All Time
Unique among SF novels . . . I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings.
Arthur C. Clarke
One of the landmarks of modern science fiction . . . an amazing feat of creation.
Analog
A racy read.
The Week
