NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE directed by Denis Villeneuve, starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Chang Chen, Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem.Frank Herbert’s classic masterpiece—a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time.Set on … the bestselling science fiction novels of all time.
Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the “spice” melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness. 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. And as he evolves into the mysterious man known as Muad’Dib, he will bring to fruition humankind’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.

I can’t say anything bad about this book except where’s the next one? The world and people created are exciting and you’re pulled in instantly. It feels like you’re part of their society.
Best SyFy book ever written.
Enjoyed this book so much that I began reading the entire series!
Stop at the third book. The fourth gets really weird. I have nothing good to say about the fifth.
The one and only. Great Sci-Fi.
Read the series years ago, great storyline, interesting characters
A classic.
Classic. Enough said.
The best book I’ve ever read
Epic and strange – don’t read it for the dialogue (which is terrible and unrealistic), read it for the scope of what is going on and what is possible, and how it occasionally reaches the level of myth.
Classic Sci-fi space opera.
What can be said about Dune that has not already been said? With each read, you discover something new that you had not seen before.
If you’ve already read it, read it again. If you haven’t, you must.
This and the whole series is a must read Books much better than the movie, although the movie did about as good a job as could be expected. Still never was able to finish the last half of the third book.
This book and the series are at the apex of the great science fiction authors and books. Without a doubt the best science fiction book I have ever read over my lifetime of 65 years reading science fiction novels. A classic masterpiece.
Great book! Must read the entire series to completely understand & you’ll love it too!!
A classic
Kid makes good on promises.
A classic of science fiction. Great creation of a society and belief system built on the ecology of a planet. A must read.
I have never read a better story than the worlds that Frank Herbert had created and his son continues the many factions as we age! Number 1 in my world of reading!
