The Dune Trilogy helped to define the modern science fiction genre and remains a masterwork you won’t want to pause, more than 50 years after the first book was published. With several important factions involved in the push and pull for power, Dune creates a vibrant political landscape in an original world. Their passionate delivery takes you through a series that touches on environmentalism, despotism, mythology, religion, politics, technology, and imperialism with timely relevance. Listen to a cast of talented narrators, including Scott Brick, Katherine Kellgren, and Simon Vance, bring the world of Dune to life. (Spoiler alert: Paul and Baron Harkonnen aren't the only ones with interests on Arrakis.)
Follow along as Paul navigates an intricate and dangerous political web. Melange not only protects against disease, prolongs life, and fuels supernatural powers - it also makes space travel possible. Home to the Fremen and inhabited by giant sandworms, Arrakis is the universe’s only source of melange, a mind-altering spice and the world’s most valuable substance. The noble House Atreides has gained control over the planet, which proved to be a dangerous undertaking. In the distant future on the desert planet of Arrakis, young Paul Atreides struggles to defeat Baron Harkonnen, continuing a generations-long feud between the families.
One of the world’s most important sci-fi works, the Dune saga is an epic tale of intrigue, adventure, and mysticism.
