At the age of fifteen, the son of Duke Leto Atriedes leaves his home world of Caladan to make the desert planet of Arrakis, Dune, his home. Harsh climate and political treachery mark the beginning of Paul's new life on Dune, where he will face his terrible purpose and the prophecy that surrounds him. Herbert renders Dune with stunning detail in this science-fiction classic that questions the way civilizations rise and fall.
