Before The Matrix, before Star Wars, before Ender's Game and Neuromancer, there was Dune: winner of the prestigious Hugo and Nebula awards, and widely considered one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written.

Melange, or 'spice', is the most valuable - and rarest - element in the universe; a drug that does everything from increasing a person's life-span to making intersteller travel possible. 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 the Emperor transfers stewardship of Arrakis from the noble House Harkonnen to House Atreides, the Harkonnens fight back, murdering Duke Leto Atreides. Paul, his son, and Lady Jessica, his concubine, flee into the desert. On the point of death, they are rescued by a band for Fremen, the native people of Arrakis, who control Arrakis' second great resource: the giant worms that burrow beneath the burning desert sands.

In order to avenge his father and retake Arrakis from the Harkonnens, Paul must earn the trust of the Fremen and lead a tiny army against the innumerable forces aligned against them.

And his journey will change the universe.

Product description

Review

Unique among SF novels . . . I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings. - Arthur C. Clarke

An epic of political betrayal, ecological brinkmanship, and messianic deliverance... a universe of Machiavellian realpolitik, science fiction through the prism of the Cold War. There is little that is cute or cuddly: no furry-footed Hobbits, no teddy-bear-like Ewoks... This is terrain that is familiar to readers of George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire." Herbert's scheming, backstabbing villain, the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, would be perfectly at home among the Lannisters of Westeros. - The New Yorker

One of the landmarks of modern science fiction . . . an amazing feat of creation. - Analog

Powerful, convincing, and most ingenious.

An astonishing science fiction phenomenon. - Washington Post

One of the monuments of modern science fiction. - Chicago Tribune

The time lives. It breathes, it speaks, and Herbert has smelt it in his nostrils.

Ace 2019 Hardcover is Superb
4 Stars
Ace 2019 Hardcover is Superb
This is a review of the excellent 2019 mass-market hardcover from Ace. Unfortunately it is glued not smyth-sewn, but I knew that before purchase after doing research, which took a long time comparing all extant hardcovers in print. It would be great if Amazon included binding details in the book profile. That said, the pages open nicely, so the perfect binding is not overly tight. I bought this edition for the beautiful design and in person it really is impressive. The illustrations and text typesetting are gorgeous, and the page margins are spot-on. By the way, I saw that the Folio Society DUNE has huge page margins...a turn-off for me.Book Depository shipped the Ace DUNE to me without inside protection, but luckily it arrived undamaged. I am now looking forward to reading DUNE in 2020 for this first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A modern classic.
Reviewed in Australia on 9 March 2023

If there is any challenge to the Russian masters then it comes in either Les Miserables or Dune, in either Jean Val Jean or Paul Atreides. Because if there was ever two comparable fictional characters greater then I don't know of them. Dune is not just a book, it is a universe, in itself. The depth of character construction makes Dune stand out among it contemporaries. It takes awhile for the reader to warm to the world that Dune inhabits, but like the Fremen it grows on you. You sense, while reading Dune, the time in which it was written. The leftover ramifications from WWII, and the onging threat of the Cold War. But it is the story that carries you along, the interwoven character plots, the frictions, the machinations. Dune is such an enjoyable read because the true discerning reader approaches it with a reverence, of almost religious form. A treasure to be experience, rather than a book to be consumed.

I loved this book even before the movie came out (also amazing). What I love the most is the world-building - so detailed and well thought out, and just interesting to see how the characters survive in such a harsh environment, and how it shapes the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality
Reviewed in Canada on 2 May 2024
Verified Purchase
The book is very beautiful and made the way it can live a long life. It looks so serious I wash my hands every time before reading. The pages are thick and have a proper texture, so you can read 50 pages non-stop without noticing the turning process. There are no pictures inside, except for the cover, but it's good enough for people with imagination, and the story makes up for it. Staring at the turquoise side of the book can be enough for the eye entertainment. It's also pretty heavy and can be used for self-defense. I made a nice gift to myself. If you think of buying it, do it. It's worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars La entrega pudo ser mejor, pero el libro es excelente.
Reviewed in Mexico on 10 January 2022

El libro es de buena calidad, puede que la pasta sea algo delgada pero yo no la calificaría de deficiente. Sin embargo , la entrega lo ha maltratado un poco, tenía unos dobleces relativamente ligeros en la parte superior de la portada, y yo soy muy meticuloso en cuanto al estado de mis libros, así que ese aspecto no me agradó. En cuanto al libro, no hace falta decir que es un clásico, y el hecho de que sea toda la saga editada tan bien, le da mucho valor en mi opinión. El libro también tiene un poco de material extra, aparte de la novela en sí. Tales como un mapa, terminología, notas cartográficas, y notas sobre la ecología y religión en Dune. Ese aspecto me ha encantado, es algo que no esperaba ver y sinceramente me agradó mucho. Recomiendo el producto.
