This collection of Frank Herbert's great novels, Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune brings together three of the finest achievements of post-war science fiction. They are epic tales, full of excitement and intrigue, packed with memorable characters and scenes.
Dominated by a vast, treacherous desert world of Dune, the trilogy tells the story of Paul Atreides, prince turned revolutionary leader, who becomes the reluctant messiah to a fanatical religious movement that threatens an entire galactic empire. Opposing him are the malign sisterhood of the Bene Gesserit - who, unable to dominate the man they have made a god, set out to destroy him - and the Atreides' deadliest enemy, the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. Towering over everything is the planet itself, Frank Herbert's finest imaginative creation: a savagely hostile place inhabited only by giant sandworms and fierce natives.
Comparable only to Lord of the Rings, the Dune novels are among the most famous and widely read science fiction novels ever written. An epic Dune film is being prepared for Christmas 1984 release.
