Dune

Dune is a science fiction book written by Frank Herbert. It is set in the far future on the distant planet Arrakis, the spice planet.

As the book opens, each of the planets is ruled by a great house. The duke, Leto, of House Atreids is ordered to transfer to the desert planet Arrakis. He suspects it is an attempt on his life but continues with the assignment. After the palace is overrun and Leto is killed, his son Paul must flee into the desert with his mother. They find shelter with desert dwellers, who believe Paul to be their messiah.

I liked this book and would like to read more in the series. It is a very long novel and I would not suggest that anyone below twelve read it because of the sheer length.
