Dune

Hodder's trade paperback edition. Here is a science fiction novel and a triumph of the imagination. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family--and would bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream. A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the Nebula and Hugo Awards, and formed the basis of what it undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.
