Før Game of Thrones, Hunger Games, Tjenerindens fortælling og Star Wars var der Dune.Frank Herberts stort anlagte geopolitiske saga om naturressourcer, menneskets potentiale og kampen mod imperialisme er blandt alle tiders mest berømte sciencefiction-værker og genudgives nu på dansk.Melange, eller ‘krydderiet’, er det mest værdifulde og mest eftertragtede element i universet. Et stof, der blandt meget andet kan forlænge menneskets levetid og muliggøre interstellare rejser. Og det findes kun på en planet: den ugæstfri ørkenverden Arrakis – også kaldet Dune. Den, der kontrollerer krydderiet, kontrollerer universet.Da Kejseren overdrager forvaltningen af Arrakis fraHuset Harkonnen til Huset Atreides, udbryder et spil på liv og død om det galaktiske herredømme og universets fremtid. I midten af kampen står Paul Atreides, arving til Atreides-tronen, og hans familie, der skal navigere blandt venner og fjender for at overleve. Efter et attentat mod tronen tvinges Paul ud i ørkenen, hvor han reddes af en gruppe frimenere, Arrakis oprindelige beboere, som han bliver leder for i kampen mod overmagten.Motion Picture Artwork © 2021 Legendary and Warner Bros.

Set two years before Dune: Princess of Dune is the never-before-told story of two key women in the life of Paul Muad'Dib-Princess Irulan, his wife in name only, and Paul's true love, the Fremen Chani. Both women become central to Paul's galaxy-spanning Imperial reign.Raised in the Imperial court and born to be a political bargaining chip, Irulan was sent at an early age to be trained as a Bene Gesserit Sister. As Princess Royal, she also learned important lessons from her father-the Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV. Now of marriageable age, Princess Irulan sees the machinations of the many factions vying for power-the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, the Spacing Guild, the Imperial throne, and a ruthless rebellion in the Imperial military. The young woman has a wise and independent streak and is determined to become much more than a pawn to be moved about on anyone's gameboard. Meanwhile, on Arrakis, Chani-the daughter of Liet-Kynes, the Imperial Planetologist who serves under the harsh rule of House Harkonnen-is trained in the Fremen mystical ways by an ancient Reverend Mother. Brought up to believe in her father's ecological dream of a green Arrakis, she follows Liet around to Imperial testing stations, surviving the many hazards of desert life. Chani soon learns the harsh cost of Fremen dreams and obligations under the oppressive boot heel of the long Harkonnen occupation.

This boxed set collects all three books in bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's Legends of Dune prequel series. Frank Herbert's original Dune series is one of the great creations of imaginative literature, science fiction's answer to The Lord of the Rings. The Legends of Dune trilogy, written based on Frank Herbert's own notes, reveals a vital chapter of the saga, 10,000 years before the classic Dune sequence begins.Dune: The Butlerian JihadThroughout the Dune novels, Frank Herbert frequently referred to the war in which humans wrested their freedom from "thinking machines." In this first book, the story of that war comes tantalizingly to life. Finally, we see how Serena Butler's passionate grief ignites the struggle that will liberate humans from their machine masters. Here is the amazing tale of the Zensunni Wanderers, who escape bondage to flee to the desert world where they will declare themselves the Free Men of Dune. Dune: The Machine CrusadeMore than two decades have passed since the events chronicled in Dune: The Butlerian Jihad. The crusade against thinking robots has ground on for years, but the forces led by Serena Butler and Irbis Ginjo have made only slight gains; the human worlds grow weary of war, of the bloody, inconclusive swing from victory to defeat. Here is the unrivaled imaginative power that has put Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson on bestseller lists everywhere and earned them the high regard of readers around the globe. Dune: The Battle of CorrinIt has been fifty-six hard years since the events of Dune: The Machine Crusade. Following the death of Serena Butler, the bloodiest decades of the Jihad take place. Synchronized Worlds and Unallied Planets are liberated one by one, and at long last, after years of victory, the human worlds begin to hope that the end of the centuries-long conflict with the thinking machines is finally in sight.
Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's Navigators of Dune is the climactic finale of the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, set 10,000 years before Frank Herbert's classic Dune.The story line tells the origins of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood and its breeding program, the human-computer Mentats, and the Navigators (the Spacing Guild), as well as a crucial battle for the future of the human race, in which reason faces off against fanaticism. These events have far-reaching consequences that will set the stage for Dune, millennia later.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Book One in the classic conclusion to Frank Herbert's worldwide bestselling Dune Chronicles Hunters of Dune and the concluding volume, Sandworms of Dune, bring together the great story lines and beloved characters in Frank Herbert's classic Dune universe, ranging from the time of the Butlerian Jihad to the original Dune series and beyond. Based directly on Frank Herbert's final outline, which lay hidden in a safe-deposit box for a decade, these two volumes will finally answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating for two decades.At the end of Chapterhouse: Dune--Frank Herbert's final novel--a ship carrying the ghola of Duncan Idaho, Sheeana (a young woman who can control sandworms), and a crew of various refugees escapes into the uncharted galaxy, fleeing from the monstrous Honored Matres, dark counterparts to the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood. The nearly invincible Honored Matres have swarmed into the known universe, driven from their home by a terrifying, mysterious Enemy. As designed by the creative genius of Frank Herbert, the primary story of Hunters and Sandworms is the exotic odyssey of Duncan's no-ship as it is forced to elude the diabolical traps set by the ferocious, unknown Enemy. To strengthen their forces, the fugitives have used genetic technology from Scytale, the last Tleilaxu Master, to revive key figures from Dune's past-including Paul Muad'Dib and his beloved Chani, Lady Jessica, Stilgar, Thufir Hawat, and even Dr. Wellington Yueh. Each of these characters will use their special talents to meet the challenges thrown at them.Failure is unthinkable--not only is their survival at stake, but they hold the fate of the entire human race in their hands.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
