Arrakis is a desert world with almost no water and the only supply of the spice that makes interstellar travel possible.
Frank Herbert's novel sets the Atreides family against the Harkonnens in a struggle for control of that planet, and folds ecology, religion, dynastic politics and prophecy into a single long narrative. The desert-dwelling Fremen, the sandworms and the long manipulations of the Bene Gesserit all feed a story about power and what it costs the people who reach for it. This Penguin USA mass market paperback runs to 896 pages.
Why it earns a place on the shelf:
• A foundational work of modern science fiction
• Ecology, religion and imperial politics woven through the plot
• Extensive world-building supported by appendices and a glossary
• 896 pages in mass market paperback format
A natural pick for science fiction readers and for anyone starting the series, published by Penguin USA and available at Boipoka.
