Reviews
An astonishing science fiction phenomenon
Powerful, convincing, and most ingenious
A tight mesmerising fabric, interwoven with a potent element of mysticism ... intensely realised
One of the monuments of modern science fiction
I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings
A novel of extraordinary complexity ... the work of a speculative intellect with few rivals in modern SF
It is possible that Dune is even more relevant now than when it was first published
