	Hodder & Stoughton Ltd Dune 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 also grants psychic powers and longevity, so whoever controls it wields great influence. <p> 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 superhuman--he might be a messiah. His struggle is at the centre of a nexus of powerful people and events, and the repercussions will be felt throughout the Imperium. <p> <I>Dune</I> is one of the most famous science fiction novels ever written, and deservedly so. The setting is elaborate and ornate, the plot labyrinthine and the adventures exciting. Five sequels follow. --<I>Brooks Peck</I>     Availability: Usually dispatched within 24 hours Shipping: refer to store website	£6.39 at Amazon.co.uk  4.5/5 Info All items of this shop

	Gollancz Dune Originally serialised in Analog during the early 1960s, <I>Dune</I> has sold over 10 million copies, becoming the most successful science fiction novel ever and giving rising to five sequels and a prequel, <I>Prelude to Dune: House Atreides</I>. With <I>Lord of the Rings</I>, <I>1984</I> and <I>Catch 22</I>, it is, regardless of whether one normally reads science fiction, a defining novel of the 20th century. Author Frank Herbert always preferred the original magazine illustrations by Hugo Award-winning artist John Schoenherr to those of other artists, and this illustrated edition features 12 colour plates by Schoenherr together with an evocative dust-jacket painting.<p><I>Dun e</I> is epic space opera, a saga of dynastic rivalry rooted in history and ecology, the story of the planet Arrakis 10 000 years from now, and of the conflicts over possession of Melange, a psycho-mutagenic ­spice­ vital to maintaining the galactic Imperium. It is the story of Paul Atreides, the man who would become <I>Dune Messiah</I>, and of the giant sand worms which haunt the desert landscapes. More elaborate and complex than preceding SF, Frank Herbert laid the foundations that made <I>Star Wars</I> and <I>Babylon 5</I> possible. Dan Simmon's <I>Hyperion</I> and David Zindell's <I>Neverness</I> launched even richer, more dazzling and thrilling galactic epics, but <I>Dune</I> retains its premiere place in the collective imagination. Decades after initial publication it is still the benchmark for popular SF, a book everyone should read, if only to know what everyone else is talking about. --<I>Gary S Dalkin</I>     Availability: Usually dispatched within 4 to 6 weeks Shipping: refer to store website	£11.21 at Amazon.co.uk  4.5/5 Info All items of this shop
