Title: Maybe the Greatest Science Fiction Novel Ever!
Review: Frank Herbert's novel 'Dune,' ranks among the great works of fiction and is perhaps the greatest of it's genre. The novel is a subtle but effective weaving together of political intrigue, heart-racing action, intense story, and incredably well-drawn characters. Paul Atredies, the young son of the Duke Leto, and his family are removed from their home world of Calidan to oversee operations on the desert world of Arrakis, or as it is better known, Dune. The story that follows sees Paul grow not only into a man, but into a super-human being capable of destroying the hated enemies of the Atredies, the evil Harkonnen. Herbert's understanding of human nature serves him well in this novel and his concerns about our own ecology are apparent. Like Asimov's 'Foundation,' series and the 'Childe Cycle' of Gorden R. Dickson, Herbert's 'Dune' is a classic of Science Fiction that will ignite any reader's imagination.
