First up is the Deluxe Edition Trade Paperback for Frank Herbert’s original Hugo- and Nebula-award winning science fiction novel Dune. The cover art, which features a colossal sandworm, is a revival of an early 1980’s edition cover by Frederic Marvin. This new edition will also have decorative endpapers inside the cover that showcase two planets: the blue one is Caladan, home of House Atreides, and the yellow one is Arrakis aka the desert planet Dune. Lastly, this trade paperback will have stenciled edges with quotes from the “Litany Against Fear”: “I must not fear” at top; “Fear is the mind-killer” on the side; and “Fear is the little death” at bottom.

Cover Reveal

Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the “spice” melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness. Coveted across the known universe, melange is a prize worth killing for…

When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul’s family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than he could ever have imagined. And as he evolves into the mysterious man known as Muad’Dib, he will bring to fruition humankind’s most ancient and unattainable dream.

A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.
