Omtale fra forlaget
A breathtaking story of war, treachery and decadence; of love, loyalty and steadfastness in the face of overwhelming odds It is the year 10,154 of the Imperial Calendar, and for four decades the planet Arrakis - called Dune by its inhabitants - has been ruled by the Harkonnen family. Proud of his cruelty and ruthlessness, iron-fisted Baron Vladimir Hakonnen dreams of ever-larger harvests of the precious substance called "spice", the chemical that prolongs life and increases mental powers; the drug that mutated Spacing Guild Navigators use to control starships with their minds. But the seeds of change have been sown. The Emperor's son Shaddam plots to replace his father. The secretive Reverend Mothers of the Bene Gesserit prepare for the climax of their programme of genetic manipulation to create the Kwisatz Haderach, a godlike man. On Dune itself, an idealistic young planteologist goes out into the desert to live among the Fremen, desert nomads who hold the key to the secrets of spice and the giant sandworms who guard it. And on the water and island world of Caladan the Duke's heir, young Leo Atreides, prepares to travel to the planet Ix where he will learn to be a ruler. Frank Herbert's Dune is the best-selling science fiction novel of all time, with nearly ten million copies i print. Have you read all the original novels?
