Coveted across the known universe, melange is a prize worth killing for....When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul’s family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than he could ever have imagined.

I'm a big science-fiction fan. I love Dune. That's not a nonfiction narrative, of course, but it would be cool if it was!

Награды: премия «Хьюго» в категории «Лучший роман» (1966), премия «Небьюла» в категории «Лучший роман» (1965), премия SFinks в категории «Книга года» (2008). Действие происходит в далёком будущем, где общественная жизнь и культура вращаются вокруг «пряности», за добычу и использование этого особого вещества идёт постоянная борьба. На первый взгляд может показаться, что это ещё одна история борьбы добра и зла, благородства и корыстных интересов. Однако книга полифоничнее. Герберту удалось создать своеобразную хронику далёкого будущего, которая исследует вопросы политики, религии, экологии и технологии, по праву считаясь наиболее яркой и оригинальной за всю историю мировой фантастики.

The book takes a long time a long time to really take speed in my opinion. But what it does is an amazing journey that I love taking part of.
