Description: DUNE by Frank Herbert Brand New - Hardcover - Shrink-wrapped Barnes and Noble Collectible Editions, Leather Originally written in 1965. This famous novel story is now in 5 sequels, and available in movie form. 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, or "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. A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award for Best Novel, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what it undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction. A classic science fiction collectible. Features: Bound in bonded-leather, Foil stamped in elaborate detail, silk ribbon marker, decorated endpapers, and special gilt edges.
