Beschreibung
Op zijn thuisplaneet Caladan bereidt Leto zijn vertrek voor. Hij, zijn concubine Jessica en hun zoon Paul vermoeden dat de benoeming een valstrik is van hun aartsrivalen, de Harkonnens. Desondanks besluit Leto dat ze toch gaan – de kans om alle productie van melange in de hand te hebben is simpelweg te waardevol. Ze vertrekken richting Arrakis, maar van alle kanten dreigt gevaar.
Duin verscheen in 1965 en is de grootste sciencefictionklassieker aller tijden. Er zijn vele miljoenen exemplaren van het boek verkocht en het boek is de basis geweest voor tv-series, games en films.

This might be the greatest piece of science fiction ever written, not just because of the lengths the author goes to describe each character with depth and state their intentions in such a manner that is relatable to the reader. The complexity of the planet of Arrakis and the total immersion of the reader into Fremen culture, as well as the detailed descriptions of political tensions bring this book's world building to the next level. It is astounding how one author can create such a complex world from scratch and write about every aspect of an imaginary culture and way of life.
This is a classic si-fi novel. There is a large amount of world building spread over 6 novels, prequels (The whole 9 yards) and Yes! Worms! lots of them. There is a reason why lots of peeps on GR read this. It's good! Not five star. I recommend this to people.
I don't like sand. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
