This Hugo and Nebula Award winner tells the sweeping tale of a desert planet
called Arrakis, the focus of an intricate power struggle in a byzantine interstellar
empire. Arrakis is the sole source of Melange, the “spice of spices.” Melange
is necessary for interstellar travel and grants psychic powers and longevity, so
whoever controls it wields great influence.

The troubles begin when stewardship of Arrakis is transferred by the Emperor
from the Harkonnen Noble House to House Atreides. The Harkonnens don’t
want to give up their privilege, though, and through sabotage and treachery they
cast young Duke Paul Atreides out into the planet’s harsh environment to die.

There he falls in with the Fremen, a tribe of desert dwellers who become the
basis of the army with which he will reclaim what’s rightfully his. Paul Atreides,
though, is far more than just a usurped duke. He might be the end product of a
very long-term genetic experiment designed to breed a super human; he might
be a messiah. His struggle is at the center of a nexus of powerful people and
events, and the repercussions will be felt throughout the Imperium.

Dune is one of the most famous science fiction novels ever written, and
deservedly so. The setting is elaborate and ornate, the plot labyrinthine, the
adventures exciting.

Narrated by George Guidall (and Davina Porter as the voice of Princess Irulan).
