'An astonishing science fiction phenomenon' WASHINGTON POST 'I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings' Arthur C Clarke Herbert's evocative, epic tales are set on the desert planet Arrakis, the focus for a complex political and military struggle with galaxy-wide repercussions. Arrakis is the source of spice, a mind-enhancing drug which makes interstellar travel possible; it is the most valuable substance in the galaxy. When Duke Atreides and his family take up court there, they fall into a trap set by the Duke's bitter rival, Baron Harkonnen. The Duke is poisoned, but his wife and her son Paul escape to the vast and arid deserts of Arrakis, which have given the planet its nickname of Dune. Paul and his mother join the Fremen, the Arrakis natives, who have learnt to live in this harsh and complex ecosystem. But learning to survive is not enough - Paul's destiny was mapped out long ago and his mother is committed to seeing it fulfilled. Read the books which inspired the Academy Award-winning and jaw-dropping cinematic events Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024), starring Timothee Chalomet, Florence Pugh, Jessica Ferguson and Austin Butler. A science fiction spectacular like no other, this is a deeply climate conscious novel, and a compelling family saga for the ages. * * * * * * * * * * * * * 'This is - quite simply - the most magnificent Sci-Fi epic ever written . . .

The willingness to embrace big ideas and show them playing out on a broad canvas . . . You have to read it to believe it ' Goodreads reviewer Review: The Spice Must Flow! - Frank Herbert's Dune is a collection of books that have always left me a little intimidated. I've never been a great reader and find myself getting easily lost with books that have too much information. I find it hard to process and is the main reason why I never got round to reading these books. But with the new film coming out, doing a bit of reading on the behind the scenes of the 1984 David Lynch film, I thought I would finally give the original Dune trilogy a shot. The original book was published all the way back in 1965. The original publication was a two part story in Analog magazine. It was officially released as a book by Chilton Books and has since become one of, if not the most famous science fiction novel ever written. The version I acquired is published through Gollancz and is a large hardback book featuring Dune (1965), Dune Messiah (1969) and Children of Dune (1976). The book as a whole is 912 pages long, features the three books, all four Appendix, The Terminology of the Imperium and Cartographic Notes For Map. It's a heft beast of a book. The cover whilst nicely designed with a cool golden sandworm on a black leather backdrop, still looks a little on the cheap side. It's a nice idea on paper but leaves a little to be desired. The spine of the book is also a slight issue. I found the pages didn't bend too well and made for the first and last one hundred pages to be a bit awkward to read, especially on my adjustable book stand. Considering the hefty weight of the book, I certainly wasn't going to hold it whilst reading. This made for a bit of a problem but one that I pushed through. As for the story itself. Well, if I were to right a small overview of the story of these three books, this review would be horrendously long. Lets just say that the book features lots of political and family issues. There's plenty of back stabbing as well as issues with religion, false idols and the issue of drug induced hallucinations. There's a lot going on here and considering how dense it is, I think Frank Herbert managed to get the story across perfectly. There were very few occasions where I felt a little lost. With a good use of wording and the way the chapters are spread out, you can get a dose of information and plenty of time to soak it all in before moving on. It gives this book great pacing and makes it surprisingly easy to read. My favourite part of the book is without any doubt, it is the world building. Each faction have their unique traits. Their clothing, their vocabulary, the way they walk and portray themselves amongst others. It's all very well done. Even the use of secondary and lesser characters have a lot of depth to them. The planet itself, Arrakis as a world feels just as alive and unique as characters like Stilgar, Paul Atreides and the Baron. The way Herbert describes the different environments from Sietch Tabr, Arrakeen, the endless desert etc is so intense that you could so easily imagine yourself being there. In terms of quality, I would say that Dune is by far the best book of the three and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. It's extremely focused and Herbert clearly knew what story he wanted to tell and how to go about doing it. Dune Messiah is a very good but short follow up. It's considerably more bleak than the first book and really brings a downer to everything that happened previously (no spoilers). It's a really good read, acting more like an extension of the first book rather than a full novel in itself. Children of Dune is a much stronger affair with the Atreides story going in a completely different direction. It's a longer, more detailed and more philosophical story compared to its predecessor. There's a lot going on in this one, it's a fantastic way to round off the story of Paul, his family and the people of Arrakis. I won't even deny the fact that I am far from qualified to do Frank Herbert's Dune justice in this review. I'm a fairly simple person who hasn't got the right grasp of the English language to properly emphasise just how good this book is. Up until now, Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Homer's Odyssey were my favourite books. That was until now. I think Dune has everything I love about science fiction and scratched that itch caused by blasphemous nonsense like the Disney Star Wars trilogy and Star Trek Discovery. It's a very clever, very well written and extremely detailed story that I would call a must own. Some might find it a bit over whelming, others will just sink into it and never come out of their spice trance. I am the latter. My mind hasn't stopped processing the information I got from Dune and I don't think I ever will. I am glad I got over my fear of this book. After all, fear is the mind killer. Review: A great Science Fiction trilogy - I've re-read this trilogy after 30 years and enjoyed it as much, if not more. Frank Herbert's masterful skills immerse the reader in an alien fictional world- although water is precious. Dune is a desert planet. Read this as an adventure story and you'll love it. The author gives you multifaceted characters with subtle emotional and political intelligence and each development in the plot, brings satisfaction and anticipation to the reader. This book is heavy and large , so I used cushions to support its reading , in bed! After each part, I set it aside, to read something else. Like chocolate or fine wine, I didn't want to over indulge. Don't be intimidated by its size. You won't want to stop reading. And finally, I found myself thinking of the world I live in; political schemes and machinations. "Observe the plans within plans within plans." Putin anybody? John le Carré's Smiley? Like all great science fiction, thus trilogy is so much more. You've seen the film, now read the book. ## Features - Great dune trilogy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 7,091 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 24 in Environment (Books) 34 in Genetic Engineering Fiction 37 in TV, Movie, Video Game Adaptions | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 12,712 Reviews | ## Images ![The Great Dune Trilogy: The stunning collector’s edition of Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune (Dune sequence, 1-3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81clgu52SHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Spice Must Flow! *by S***E on 27 October 2020* Frank Herbert's Dune is a collection of books that have always left me a little intimidated.

Frank Herbert's masterful skills immerse the reader in an alien fictional world- although water is precious. Dune is a desert planet. Read this as an adventure story and you'll love it. The author gives you multifaceted characters with subtle emotional and political intelligence and each development in the plot, brings satisfaction and anticipation to the reader. This book is heavy and large , so I used cushions to support its reading , in bed! After each part, I set it aside, to read something else. Like chocolate or fine wine, I didn't want to over indulge. Don't be intimidated by its size. You won't want to stop reading. And finally, I found myself thinking of the world I live in; political schemes and machinations. "Observe the plans within plans within plans." Putin anybody? John le Carré's Smiley? Like all great science fiction, thus trilogy is so much more. You've seen the film, now read the book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book with a few gripes *by C***Z on 27 April 2024* The Dune series is a very interesting one, it is unique to other sci-fi novels, in the sense that it doesn’t feel very futuristic. It could possibly remind one of medieval times, with the exception that it has vastly different technology. However, the societies feel reminiscent of each other. The book(s) is a great read, and it has some of the best world building I’ve ever seen. However, the reason I do not give this five stars is because there are a few problems with the product itself, and not of the literature inside. For one, the binding is glued together, which could possibly lead to some damage to the book if you aren’t careful, (however I have not had such problems (yet)) which defies the point of a hardback cover, which is to preserve the book and prevent it being damaged. There are a few spelling errors and grammatical errors, however these are negligible, but still noticeable and a bit annoying, as they take you out of the experience. It is really well thought out and an incredibly captivating and complex book. I recommend it to anyone who can understand it the way it was intended. The House Harkonnen is exactly what I want from a villain- ruthless tyrants that are made to be disgusting and vile human beings. Frank Herbert wanted you to hate them as much as he did, and it is really conveyed in this book. The “protagonist” is quite likeable in most aspects, and while Paul technically isn’t the hero in the story, he is understandable as a character, and you can see why he chooses to do what he does. I like how this series branches off from it’s main characters into other plot lines; for example, the way Paul is the main character of the first two books, but eventually become “The Preacher”, and then his character is dropped entirely during the series. Overall, a lovely book. The four stars is for the quality of the product itself, and not of the writing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Great Dune Trilogy - The Second Great Dune Trilogy: God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, Chapter House Dune - The Silmarillion: Illustrated by J.R.R.
