Dune is the first book in the series by Frank Herbert. If follows the life of Paul Atreides, a young aristocrat born to a smaller house in the grand politics of the Dune universe. The Atreides family brokers a deal to trade their home planet Caladan, a fertile but non-political home, for the planet Arrakis. Arrakis is a desert planet but it holds an important key to the political game: Spice. The spice melange which enables the hyperfunctioning navigators of the transportation guild can be found nowhere else in the universe.
The Atreides family is on a dangerous path as events long in the making are interrupted, machinations by opposing factions churn into motion, and the Atreides family on Arrakis find themselves in the cross hairs.
