From the Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of the science fiction masterpiece Dune, Frank Herbert's The Dragon in the Sea is a riveting thriller of a submarine crew trapped in the depths of the sea, hunted by one of their own.

In the endless war between East and West, oil has become the ultimate prize. Nuclear-powered subtugs brave enemy waters to tap into hidden oil reserves beneath the East's continental shelf. But the last twenty missions have never returned. Have sleeper agents infiltrated the elite submarine service, or are the crews simply cracking under the pressure?

Psychologist John Ramsay has gone undercover aboard a Hell Diver subtug. His mission is to covertly observe the remainder of the four-man crew—and find the traitor among them. Sabotage and suspicion soon plague the mission, as Ramsay discovers that the stress of fighting a war a mile and a half under the ocean exposes every weakness in a man. Hunted relentlessly by the enemy, the four men find themselves isolated in a claustrophobic undersea prison, struggling for survival against the elements . . . and themselves.

Le chef-d'œuvre absolu de la science-fiction, adapté au cinéma par Denis Villeneuve.


Sur Dune, la planète des sables, les prophéties s'accomplissent : le désert devient jardin. Mais les vers géants se font rares et l'Epice de prescience vient à manquer. Tout ce qui reste de l'épopée de Muad'Did, c'est un empire conquis, des guerriers déchus, des prêtres tentés par la théocratie. Et les jumeaux Leto et Ghanima, qui portent en eux les souvenirs d'innombrables générations dont, peut-être, ceux de l'antique Abomination, redoutée par les soeurs du Bene Gesserit et prête à revenir du passé génétique pour faire basculer l'univers dans le cauchemar.
Les morts dominent les vivants. Leto devra affronter les uns et les autres en un combat sans merci dont l'enjeu est plus que la prescience, plus que la longévité : au moins la toute-puissance, et peut-être l'immortalité.

A New World in Embryo

Public Law 10927 was clear and direct. Parents were permitted to watch the genetic alterations of their gametes by skilled surgeons . . . only no one ever requested it.

When Lizbeth and Harvey Durant decided to invoke the Law; when Dr. Potter did not rearrange the most unusual genetic structure of their future son, barely an embryo growing in the State's special vat-the consequences of these decisions threatened to be catastrophic.

For never before had anyone dared defy the Rulers' decrees . . . and if They found out, it was well known that the price of disobedience was the extermination of the human race . . .
