Many people remember the movies from the 1980s featuring Sting, Francesca Annis, and Leonardo Cimino, or the 2020 film, but the book is unmatched by any of these products. The story continues as the planet becomes a coveted resource and many different players confront each other in political, religious, and technical battles.ĭune was first published in 1965 but has continued to do well over the decades. This drug referred to in the book as “spice” not only enhances mental abilities but also extends life. This planet is a desert wasteland that’s sparsely populated but is the only known source of a drug known as melange.
