Discover the Epic Universe of Dune: The Ultimate Science Fiction Trilogy
Dive into three of the most celebrated science fiction novels in a stunning omnibus edition that inspired the cinematic masterpieces Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two.
“An astonishing science fiction phenomenon” — Washington Post
“I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings” — Arthur C. Clarke
Set against the backdrop of the desert planet Arrakis, Frank Herbert's evocative and epic tales unfold a complex tapestry of political and military intrigue with galaxy-wide consequences. Arrakis is the sole source of spice, a mind-enhancing substance vital for interstellar travel, making it the most coveted resource in the universe.
When Duke Atreides and his family arrive on Arrakis, they fall victim to a cunning trap laid by the Duke's arch-nemesis, Baron Harkonnen. As the Duke meets his fate, his wife and son, Paul, escape into the harsh deserts that define their world, known as Dune.
Joined by the Fremen, the planet’s native people who have adapted to its unforgiving environment, Paul must navigate a destiny that has been set in motion long before his birth. His mother is unwavering in her commitment to see that destiny fulfilled.
Read the series that inspired the Academy Award-winning films Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024), featuring Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, and Austin Butler. This extraordinary science fiction saga is not only a compelling family epic but also a deeply climate-conscious narrative for our times.
