New York, NY: Ace Books/Berkley/Penguin, 2005 Ace Books/Berkley/Penguin, New York. 2005. Hardcover. Special Markets Edition. 6th Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine +. No DJ. Tan leather boards and spine gilt lettering, raised bands and picture on spine; gilt borders and decorations on front board with gilt and tan lettering and outer space picture in blue and orange. Gilt textblock edges; pictorial endpapers; gold page ribbon; banded head and tail. 563 pp 8vo. Set in the distant future amidst a feudal interstellar society in which various noble houses control planetary fiefs, Dune tells the story of young Paul Atreides, whose family accepts the stewardship of the planet Arrakis. While the planet is an inhospitable and sparsely populated desert wasteland, it is the only source of melange, or "the spice", a drug that extends life and enhances mental abilities. Melange is also necessary for space navigation, which requires a kind of multidimensional awareness and foresight that only the drug provides. As melange can only be produced on Arrakis, control of the planet is thus a coveted and dangerous undertaking. The story explores the multi-layered interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion, as the factions of the empire confront each other in a struggle for the control of Arrakis and its spice. A clean pristine beautiful copy.
