“Dune” by Frank Herbert
Dune is an iconic sci-fi novel penned by Frank Herbert back in 1965. It kicks off with the Atreides family, headed by Duke Leto, making their move from Caladan to the harsh desert planet Arrakis. Arrakis is not just any old desert world; it’s the only place where melange, a spice granting extended life and boosted mental abilities, can be found. The Atreides’ gig is to govern Arrakis after kicking out the Harkonnens, the previous rulers.
