Dune

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, Frank Herbert`s Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.
