Dune

1965

Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the "spice" melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness. Coveted across the known universe, melange is a prize worth killing for... When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul's family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than he could ever have imagined. And as he evolves into the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib, he will bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream. A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.

Dune, Volumul 2

1965

"Intr-un viitor indepartat, omenirea a facut progrese uriase si a reusit sa populeze mai multe planete, pe care le-a pus sub ascultatea unor Case Nobile subordinate, la randul lor, unui guvernator universal, Imparatul Shaddam al IV-lea. Una dintre legile cele mai importante ale acestei lumi viitoare este interziceerea oricarei forme de inteligenta artificiala, computerelor luandu-le locul fiinte umane exceptionale. Dincolo de toata aceasta evolutie, specia umana e antrenata intr-o interminabila lupta pentru putere, intre Casa Atreides si Casa Harkonnen a caror rivalitate o speculeaza Imparatul. El ii face Casei Atreides un dar: stapanirea planetei Dune, cea mai importanta planeta a Imperiului si sursa melanjului, un drog care prelungeste viata oamenilor, asigura transportul interstelar si le ofera oamenilor posibilitatea de a ghici care dintre multele variantele ale unor evenimente viitoare are mai multe sanse sa se produca. Intregul univers este dependent de melanj. Absenta lui ar duce la un blocaj de nedorit. Astfel, oamenii viitorului trec prin experiente dintre cele mai ciudate si mai greu de imaginat in incercarea de a mentine linistea si bunastarea lumii lor."

Worshipped as a religious icon by the fanatical Fremens, Paul faces the enmity of the political houses he displaced when he assumed the throne—and a conspiracy conducted within his own sphere of influence.

Yes, I have a lot of books, and if this is your first visit to my amazon author page, it can be a little overwhelming. If you are new to my work, let me recommend a few titles as good places to start. I love my Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series, humorous horror/mysteries, which begin with DEATH WARMED OVER. My steampunk fantasy adventures, CLOCKWORK ANGELS and CLOCKWORK LIVES, written with Neil Peart, legendary drummer from Rush, are two of my very favorite novels ever. And my magnum opus, the science fiction epic The Saga of Seven Suns, begins with HIDDEN EMPIRE. After you've tried those, I hope you'll check out some of my other series. I have written spin-off novels for Star Wars, StarCraft, Titan A.E., and The X-Files, and I'm the co-author of the Dune prequels. My original works include the Saga of Seven Suns series and the Nebula Award-nominated Assemblers of Infinity. I have also written several comic books including the Dark Horse Star Wars collection Tales of the Jedi written in collaboration with Tom Veitch, Predator titles (also for Dark Horse), and X-Files titles for Topps. I serve as a judge in the Writers of the Future contest. My wife is author Rebecca Moesta. We currently reside near Monument, Colorado.
