Description
Frank Herbert’s classic masterpiece—a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time.
Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of Paul Atreides—who would become known as Muad'Dib—and of a great family's ambition to bring to fruition mankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.
A stunning blend 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 the grandest epic in science fiction.

1By BitrosRead it in high school and was very ok with it and really liked the premise and non-star wars nature of the book. Read it again on a whim after seeing the movies recently; it wasn't anywhere near as exciting as I remembered it being and just seemed to draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag on and on about nothing. Keeping this hidden on the shelf where it belongs.Dune review
