Dune

Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune follows Paul Atreides, heir to House Atreides, who must take on rulership of an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the spice melange, a drug that extends life and enhances consciousness. Melange is coveted across the known universe and is a prize worth killing for. When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul’s family propels the boy onto a perilous journey. As he evolves into the mysterious man known as Muad’Dib, he moves toward a destiny tied to humankind’s most ancient and unattainable dream, blending adventure with mysticism, environmentalism, and politics.
