Description

The blood feud between Duke Leto of Caladon and Baron Vladimir Harkonnen reaches its climax, as the emperor Shaddam—leader of House Corrino—is finally forced to curb the powerful Harkonnens or risk losing his own throne.

Meanwhile, Duke Leto's beautiful concubine, the Bene Gesserit temptress Jessica, has conceived the boy who will become Paul Atreides (the hero of Dune), defying the express orders of her superiors.

The book culminates in a war—on Dune, on the oppressed planet Ix, in space—that will alter the balance of power for a generation.
