A deluxe hardcover version of Frank Herbert’s original Dune novel was released by Ace Books on October 1, 2019. Even now, half a century since it first appeared in 1965, Dune is certainly still ‘the one’ – it continues to top readers’ polls as the greatest science-fiction novel of modern times.

My intro to Arrakis was actually the Lynch film—it was a family favorite when I was growing up, so I would have been pretty young when I first saw it. Betrayed and exiled into the waterless deserts of Arrakis, his destiny will not only be fulfilled, but the future of humankind decided, and from the dunes will arise a saviour – Muad’Dib – both terrible and beautiful in his absolute power.

With these books, my intention is more to give glimpses of the world and try to achieve a sense of atmosphere more than anything else. However, Baron Harkonnen – one of the most repulsive villains in literature – has plans of his own for the Atreides household.Marcus is the founder and lead editor of Dune News Net, on top of his marketing role at a major player in the entertainment industry. As the chosen ‘one’ emerges, we discover his role has little to do with goodness; the quakes of fanatical jihad – like the desert’s giant sandworms – rumble under the surface, waiting to swallow the galaxy one planet at a time.
