‘Frank Herbert’s three famous novels Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, have been hailed as collectively three of the finest achievements of post-war science fiction. The story of a future galactic empire dominated by a vast treacherous desert world, and of Paul Atreides – prince turned revolutionary leader, reluctant messiah to a fanatical religious movement, father of Leto and Ghanima who succeed him after his apparent death – is full of high drama, intrigue and epic sweep. But it is probably the Dune world itself, with its giant sandworms and fierce natives, that will remain most of all in the reader’s mind long after the book is finished.
This is the first time that the three great Dune novels have appeared in one volume.’
