Fine, one of 750 copies signed by Frank Herbert, and numbered. Fine in slipcase. This, the sixth and final installment of Herbert's award-winning Dune series, continues the story directly from Heretics of Dune (1984). Chapterhouse: Dune ends with a cliffhanger, and Herbert's death the following year left many plotlines unresolved, until his son Brian Herbert and author Kevin J. Anderson published two sequels, Hunters of Dune (2006) and Sandworms of Dune (2007), based partially on notes left.

In Frank Herbert's seminal science fiction novel "Dune," the intricate tale unfolds across a distant future where noble families vie for control over the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the highly coveted spice melange. The Atreides family, led by Duke Leto Atreides and his son Paul, assumes stewardship of Arrakis, navigating a perilous political landscape rife with treachery and ambition. As Paul adapts to the harsh desert environment, he encounters the Fremen, Arrakis's indigenous people, and discovers his latent abilities tied to their prophecy of a messianic figure known as the Kwisatz Haderach. Paul grapples with his destiny, mastering the complexities of politics, religion, and warfare while confronting personal struggles and ethical dilemmas. The novel explores themes of power, ecology, religion, and the human condition, set against a richly imagined backdrop of a desert planet teeming with political intrigue and mystical intrigue.
