Guild for interstellar space travel has a very valuable commodity, specie or melange called necessary. The melange is a mind-altering and life-prolonging substance that allows people to getvisions . The Guild navigators use the grout to a safe for the huge Hooglinieschepen of the Guild. This raw material is very addictive and has at abstinence death. The grout comes but on one place: the arid, hot desert planet Arrakis, by the indigenous inhabitants called "Dune".

Winning this raw material is a perilous thing because of the tough coriolisstormen, but mostly because of the large sand worms. Small specimens are all 150 metres long and twenty feet thick, and they devour everything in their path.

The Emperor fears the Atreidesfamily, where the book is all about. The Duke Leto Atreides is very popular in the National Council, and the Emperor is afraid of his influence on the other large houses. He therefore forge a plot against the House Atreides.

Long been a loan of Arrakis is the archenemy of House Atreides, House Harkonnen, the evil that the indigenous inhabitants, the Fremen, cruelly suppressed. The Emperor speaks with baronVladimir Harkonnen off the planet temporarily to give the Atreides. The Harkonnen will retreat, and later together with the dreaded elite troops of the Emperor, the Sardaukardisguised in uniform, House Atreides, Harkonnen-attacks. The betrayal succeeds and the Duke is killed, but his concubine Lady Jessica and his son Paul Atreides managed to escape.

Jessica and Paul be included in a tribe of the indigenous inhabitants, the Fremen. Paul know to win the trust of the Fremen: its occurrence and occur correspond to an old legend of the Fremen in which a Messiah with extraordinary gifts will free them from slavery and will take them away to green grounds. He gets a own Vrijmanse name, "Muad'Dib", named after the desert mouse. For the vest in which he lives, he gets his own nickname: "Usul", or "foot of the pillar". Paul "Muad'Dib" Atreides Fremen to trains with a huge ability to fight. More and more begin to see if indeed the Fremen Paul the Mahdi, the promised Messiah. The Fedaykin, such as Pauls elite troops are called, are getting stronger, and finally decide Paul the confrontation.

Paul has a strong weapon in the Fremen. No one knows so much of the desert as they. They hide in caves, able to fight as the best, and even the feared sand worms riding, what no one else can. Pauls Harkonnense species-harvesters Fedaykin continue attacks, and House Harkonnen is there quite nervous of. The production is stagnant, and the Imperial Decree personal House in order with its own forces, the Sardaukar. The Fedaykin know a Sardaukar soldier to imprison, and Paul sends him back to the emperor with a very bold message: If the Sardaukar will not immediately withdraw, Paul now destroy the grout. The Guild for interstellar space travel, that depends on the grout, gets scared: even if the use of the grout allows a limited form of look into the future, makes the threat of Paul Atreides the future so uncertain that they are no longer able to assess what might happen. The Guild gives way, and refuses further troops landing on Arrakis.

Paul now wears his forces to attack the capital Arrakeen . As the Fremen on the back of the sand worms attacks the capital, is the surprise complete. The Harkonnens are defeated, Paul has the planet Arrakis back, and threatens to permanently stop the grout production if the Emperor did not immediately removed his throne to him. The emperor has no choice. He wears the throne and withdraws.

By these religious to accept title he has unleashed a whole jihad throughout the universe. All sixty billion people have died by his fanatical followers, but Paul sees in his visions that history can take a much more horrible turn.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:20.3636360168457px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302948px;">The House Corrino, where the previous Emperor came from, wants the throne back. The Bene Gesserit have no control over Paul, that the greatest success of their cultivation program should have been (actually born a generation too early: Paul the Bene Gesserit had preferred that Jessica gave birth to a daughter who with the NA-Baron Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen had can marry). The Space Guild no longer wants at the feet of Paul. They have the grout need to do their job, but the grout only comes in by the grace of Emperor Paul Atreides. If the space Guild gives him gift Hyat, Duncan Idaho's ghola (clone). There is a danger for Paul In Hyat.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:20.3636360168457px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302948px;">But Paul has even more problems. In addition to his visions, which predict not bode well, and the conspirators, he also has problems with progeny. Irulan Corrino, the official wife of Paul, married to him so that Paul could claim the imperial throne of Irulans father legally, does secretly contraceptives in eating Pauls concubine and mistress Chani. Paul knows this, but does in his visions seen the birth of offspring from Chani her death would mean. Chani is not aware of this vision, and switches on a diet with a high mortar content in order to increase her chances of a child, ignorant of the poison.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:20.3636360168457px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302948px;">The conspirators decide to call him away by Paul to the House of an old friend. If he departs from the House, they leave a stone burner off going, a nuclear weapon that emits a special radiation making Paul, just outside the blast radius was, his eyes burn. Now he must do it with his visions. He chooses the visions he sees in every detail to follow, so that the images in the visions correspond to the reality. The downside is that if he so much as a bit different from the visions, which will tell the right story no more visions, which would make him as good as blind.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:20.3636360168457px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302948px;">Meanwhile, the heavily pregnant Chani to Vest Tabr, where she gives birth to two children. She loses however, as Paul's visions told him, her life at birth. The events do the memory of Duncan Idaho ghola in the Hyat fully come back.

One last vision is to Paul through the eyes of his newborn son to look. Using a knife, and this situation raises Paul kills as the last opponent of the throne.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:20.3636360168457px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302948px;">With a throne and family who can protect the children, Paul Vrijmanse tradition for blind people can now in the desert to die. Thus he won the respect and loyalty of the Fremen as a man, and not as a deity.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:20.3636360168457px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302948px;">But the children are really safe?

The planet Arrakis is now getting fuller with vegetation and there are still less sand worms, because water is deadly to the worms.The Guild provides Space problems because the grout production still further shrinks. The whole universe takes part in the Jihad proclaimed that Paul before his death. Pauls children are not yet mature enough to rule, so Alia is the Regent. From the desert comes every time a man calling himself the preacher calls it. He proclaims the people no longer Muad'Dib to follow. If an assassination attempt on the children Leto and Ghanima by their self is foiled, Leto, Ghanima in a secret under veste and pops up tells that Leto is killed. In this research the golden road veste is Leto. His father Paul dared not to go down this road because walking the Walker makes crazy. Alia tried it too, but her grandfather, the Baron Harkonnen (which they themselves murdered has), visits her in her dreams and slowly but surely takes possession of her mind. Leto used a special grout-diet so that his entire body is saturates with grout. Than in the desert he catches some sand flor ellen. Sandy flor are small ' fish ' that suck up all the water from sand and then develop into a sand worm. As Leto is full of grout attach the sand flor ellen itself to Leto's skin.(Because the grout comes from the sand worms) This causes Leto enormous strong and powerful and he transforms the very slowly, in the course of centuries, itself to a sand worm.Meanwhile, Jessica and Wensica a plan for an Alliance. This Alliance is sealed by the son of Wensica, heir to the throne of House Corrino, Farad'n and Ghanima in marriage to enter into force.At that time comes the preacher on the square of the Temple a last notification do. He makes himself known as Paul. He is killed by a Vrijman. Alia is totally governed by the Baron Harkonnen so they eventually commits suicide. ===God-Emperor of Dune<span class="mw-editsection" len="337" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:20.3636360168457px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302948px;">Leto takes the responsibility to govern the total known universe. By his transformation he may be older than the usual man many times. For power to be able to talk about everything in the known universe, he shall refer the issue of specie to tires.

The golden road aims that individuals no longer visible to the presenting look. This allows no one influenced the future more. To do this, he sends the reproduction of his own female private army.

His death followed the scattering of his former nationals through the universe.
