Dune is a Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel that follows the story of a desert planet called Arrakis, which is at the center of a power struggle within an intricate interstellar empire. Arrakis is the only source of a substance called Melange, also known as "the spice of spices," which is vital for interstellar travel and grants psychic powers and longevity. Therefore, whoever controls Melange holds significant influence.

The conflict begins when the Emperor transfers control of Arrakis from the Harkonnen Noble House to House Atreides. However, the Harkonnens refuse to give up their privilege and plot to kill the young Duke Paul Atreides by sabotaging his family and casting him out into the hostile desert environment. Paul Atreides manages to survive and joins the Fremen, a tribe of desert dwellers who become the foundation of his army to reclaim his rightful place. Paul Atreides is more than just a displaced duke, as he may be the result of a long-term genetic experiment to create a superhuman or a messiah. His struggle is central to a web of powerful people and events, and its consequences will be felt throughout the Imperium.

Dune is a classic science fiction novel known for its elaborate setting, complex plot, and exciting adventures. It was narrated by George Guidall and Davina Porter as the voice of Princess Irulan, and was released on 20 audio CDs.
