Frank Herbert is no stranger to Science Fiction. His novel Dune is the first to the Dune Saga. This story perfectly sets the reader up for the beginning of an action packed saga. Dune takes place 20,000 years in the future. You follow Paul, a quasi-mystic with strange powers, and his quest for power. Their is a power struggle between the Duke Leto and the Baron Arkonnen for Arrakis. In Arrakis there is a large resource of melange, an extremely popular drug spice. From the beginning you get a feel for all the characters. The society is very well thought out. Overall this is an intriguing beginning to a story that is only comparable to Star Wars.
