Dune by Frank Herbert - 412 pages
Set in the distant future, where human beings have spread far and wide, colonizing throughout the entire universe. We meet our protagonist, Paul, of the House Atreides. His father has recently become the duke to a desert planet, Arrakis. Arrakis has a surplus supply of melange, a spice drug that has become essential to most people in the universe. Paul's father disregards his advisors' warnings against ambush and goes forward with his planetary fief, mostly because he has no other options. Dune follows Paul's experiences on Arrakis trying to bring his father's ambitions to fruition.
I am rereading the series with my current surplus of free time because I am preparing for the movie to come out. Highly recommend!
