Melange, the ""spice of spices"" grants psychic powers. The troubles begin when stewardship of Arrakis, melange’s source, is transferred from the Harkonnen House to House Atreides. The Harkonnens don’t want to give up their privileges and so, they cast Duke Paul Atreides out into the planet’s harsh environment to die. But, Paul might be a messiah.
My favourite character was Jessica I love her determination to survive and her unwavering strength. The whole world just sucks you in the landscape, sandworms, myths, culture and the political power plays keep you guessing right till the end. Could not put it down would highly recommend.
