Dune

by Frank Herbert · Dune series

Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune follows young Paul Atreides as his noble family assumes control of the only source of melange, the universe's most valuable substance. When betrayal shatters his world, Paul must embrace his destiny among the planet's native Fremen, becoming a figure of myth and revolution. Herbert's masterwork weaves ecology, religion, and politics into an epic that redefined science fiction.
