Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.61MB
Overview: Before Frank Herbert’s Dune was released in 1965, it was originally published as two separate serials, Dune World in 1963 and The Prophet of Dune in 1965, in Analog magazine.
Dune is set in the distant future in a feudal interstellar society in which various noble houses control planetary fiefs. It tells the story of young Paul Atreides, whose family accepts the stewardship of the planet Arrakis. While the planet is an inhospitable and sparsely populated desert wasteland, it is the only source of melange, also known as spice, a drug that extends life and enhances mental abilities. Melange is also necessary for space navigation, which requires a kind of multidimensional awareness and foresight that only the drug provides. As melange can only be produced on Arrakis, control of the planet is a coveted and dangerous undertaking. The story explores the multilayered interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology and human emotion, as the factions of the empire confront each other in a struggle for the control of Arrakis and its spice.
