DUNE by Frank Herbert

Melange, or 'spice', is the most valuable - and rarest - substance in the universe. And it can only be found on a single planet : the inhospitable desert world Arrakis. 

Whoever controls Arrakis controls the spice. And whoever controls the spice controls the universe.

When stewardship of Arrakis is transferred to his House, Paul Atreides must travel to the planet's dangerous surface to ensure the future of his family and his people. But as malevolent forces explode into conflict around him, Paul is thrust into a great destiny beyond his understanding. 

And his journey will change everything.
