DUNE: A Novel Summarized
(By SimoTheFinlandized - 2021 CE)
==========================
PROLOGUE OF DUNE:
A Foreword By
SimoTheFinlandized (2021 CE)
=========================
The DUNE saga by Frank
Herbert is set many tens of
thousands of years into
humanity's far-flung future.
Faster-than-light travel has
been developed, alongside
many other typical stellar
fusion-age technologies, and
humans have colonized a vast
number of worlds, but a great
reactionary movement against
technology has resulted in a
ban on any kind of “thinking
machine”, with creation or
possession punished by
immediate death. Despite this
major technological
prohibition, humanity
continues to develop and
advance other branches of
technology, including ESP and
instruments-of-war. At the time
of the first book's setting,
about 24,000 years from now,
humanity has formed a vast
advanced fusion-age feudal
interstellar empire known as
the Galactic Padishah
Imperium, run by several
great & extremely powerful
Great Houses that oversee
various planets & star systems,
who are in turn led by the
near-omnipotent & immensely
wealthy & prestigious Galactic
Emperor of House Corrino.
Of great key interest
is the planet Arrakis, known as
"Dune". Entirely a desert planet
with nearly no precipitation, it
is the only planet where a
special life-extending drug,
melange or "the spice", can be
found. In addition to its great
life-extension, melange greatly
enhances the mental capacity
of humans: it enables a class of
specially hyper-intelligent
humans known as the Mentats
to perform without any fail
extremely complex calculations
without the aid of any type of
computer & to also retain
vast stores of highly-important
information, allows for
the mutated Spacing Guild
pilots to fold space and travel
the distances between planets
on their enormous heighliners
(gigantic cylindrical starships),
and creates the quasi-magical
visions, abilities, and potent
powers of the Bene Gesserit, a
very mysterious matriarchal
religious group that secretly
seeks to control the direction
humanity takes. Melange is
difficult to acquire not only due
to the harsh environment of
Arrakis, but also the presence
of giant sandworms that are
drawn towards any movement
on the sands of the planet, in
addition to the planet's native
population of desert-dwelling
tribal humans, known
collectively as the Fremen,
who have since long ago
rebelled against the Imperium.
Control of Arrakis, its spice
production, and the impact
the said spice has on
humanity's development
become the centerpoints of a
thousands-year long conflict
that develops through the
series.
==========================
DUNE (Novel): By Frank Herbert
=========================
Duke Leto Atreides of the
House Atreides, ruler of the
ocean planet Caladan, is
assigned by the Padishah
Emperor Shaddam IV to serve
as fief ruler of the planet
Arrakis. Arrakis is a harsh and
inhospitable desert planet,
and the only source of
melange, or "the spice", an
extremely rare and valuable
substance that extends human
life and enhances mental
capabilities. Shaddam sees
House Atreides as a rival, and
conspires with House
Harkonnen, the longstanding
enemies of House Atreides
among the other Great Houses
in the Landsraad, to destroy
Leto once he arrives on Arrakis.
Leto is aware his assignment is
a trap of some kind, but cannot
refuse.
=========================
Leto's concubine Lady Jessica
is an acolyte of the Bene
Gesserit, an exclusively
female group that pursues
mysterious political aims and
wields superhuman physical
powers. Though Jessica was
instructed by the Bene Gesserit
to bear a daughter as part of
their breeding program, out of
love for Leto she bore a son,
Paul. Paul is trained in warfare
by Leto's aides, the Mentat
assassin Thufir Hawat and elite
soldiers Duncan Idaho and
Gurney Halleck, to prepare for
Arrakis. Jessica has also trained
Paul in what Bene Gesserit
disciplines she can. His
prophetic dreams interest
Jessica's superior, the Reverend
Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam.
She subjects Paul to the gom
jabbar, a deadly test which
causes blinding pain as part of
an assessment of the subject's
humanity. To her surprise, Paul
manages to pass.
==========================
Leto, Jessica and Paul travel
with their household to occupy
Arrakeen, the stronghold on
Arrakis formerly held by House
Harkonnen. Leto learns of the
dangers involved in harvesting
the spice, which is protected by
giant sandworms, and
negotiates with the planet's
native Fremen people, seeing
them as a valuable ally rather
than foes. Soon after the
Atreides' arrival, Harkonnen
forces attack, joined by the
Emperor's ferocious Sardaukar
troops in disguise. Leto is
betrayed by his personal
physician, the Suk doctor
Wellington Yueh, who delivers
a drugged Leto to the Baron
Vladimir Harkonnen and his
twisted Mentat, Piter De Vries.
Yueh, however, arranges for
Jessica and Paul to escape into
the desert, where they are
presumed dead by the
Harkonnens. Yueh replaces
one of Leto's teeth with a
poison capsule, hoping Leto
can kill the Baron during their
encounter. Yueh is murdered
by De Vries upon delivering
Leto, while the Baron narrowly
avoids the gas, which instead
kills Leto and De Vries. The
Baron forces Hawat to take
over De Vries' position. While
he follows the Baron's orders,
Hawat works to undermine the
Harkonnens.
=========================
After fleeing into the desert,
Paul realizes he has significant
powers as an accidental result
of the Bene Gesserit breeding
scheme, inadvertently caused
by Jessica bearing a son. He
foresees futures in which he
lives among the planet's native
Fremen, and has a vision where
he is informed of the addictive
qualities of the spice. It is also
revealed Jessica is the daughter
of Baron Harkonnen, a secret
kept from her by the Bene
Gesserit. Paul and Jessica are
accepted into the Fremen
community of Sietch Tabr, and
teach the Fremen the Bene
Gesserit fighting technique
known as the "weirding way".
Paul proves his manhood and
chooses the Fremen name
Muad'Dib, while Jessica opts to
undergo a ritual to become a
Reverend Mother by drinking
the poisonous Water of Life.
Pregnant with Leto's daughter,
she inadvertently causes the
unborn child, Alia, to become
infused with the same powers
in the womb. Paul takes a
Fremen lover, Chani, and has a
son with her, Leto II.
========================
Two years pass, and Paul's
powerful prescience abilities
manifest, which lead the
Fremen to consider him their
messiah. Paul recognizes that
the Fremen could be a
powerful fighting force to take
back Arrakis, but also sees that
if he does not control them,
their jihad could consume the
entire universe. Word of the
new Fremen leader reaches
both Baron Harkonnen and
the Emperor as spice
production falls due to their
increasingly destructive raids.
The Baron decides to replace
his brutish nephew Glossu
Rabban with his shrewder
nephew Feyd-Rautha, hoping
to gain favor with the Fremen.
The Emperor, suspecting the
Baron of trying to create troops
more powerful than the
Sardaukar to seize power,
sends spies to monitor activity
on Arrakis. Hawat uses the
opportunity to sow seeds of
doubt in the Baron about the
Emperor's true plans, putting
further strain on their alliance.
======================
Gurney Halleck, having
survived the Harkonnen coup,
reunites with Paul and Jessica.
Believing Jessica to be a traitor,
Gurney threatens to kill her,
but is stopped by Paul. Paul did
not foresee Gurney's attack,
and concludes he must
increase his prescience by
drinking the Water of Life,
which is fatal to men. Paul falls
into unconsciousness for
several weeks after drinking
the Water, but when he wakes,
he has clairvoyance across time
and space: he is the Kwisatz
Haderach, ultimate goal of the
Bene Gesserit breeding
program.
=========================
Paul senses the Emperor and
Baron are amassing fleets
around Arrakis to quell the
Fremen rebellion, and prepares
the Fremen for a major
offensive against the
Harkonnen troops. The
Emperor arrives with the Baron
on Arrakis; their combined
troops seize a Fremen outpost,
killing many including Leto II,
while Alia is captured and
taken to the Baron. She
remains defiant, putting her
trust in her brother. Under
cover of an electric storm
which shorts out the Emperor's
troops' defensive shields, Paul
and the Fremen, riding giant
sandworms, assault the capital
while Alia assassinates the
Baron and escapes. The
Fremen quickly defeat both the
Harkonnen and Sardaukar
troops.
=========================
Paul faces the Emperor,
threatening to destroy spice
production forever unless the
Emperor abdicates the throne.
Feyd-Rautha attempts to stop
Paul by challenging him to a
ritualistic knife fight, during
which he attempts to cheat and
kill Paul with a poison spur in
his belt. Paul gains the upper
hand and kills him. The
Emperor reluctantly cedes the
throne to Paul and promises
his daughter Princess Irulan's
hand in marriage. As Paul takes
control of the Empire, he
realizes that while he has
achieved his goal, he is no
longer able to stop the Fremen
jihad, as their belief in him is
too powerful to restrain.
