“One of the coolest gifts you can get for your favorite sci-fi geek
. . . You’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but these
new Penguin Galaxy hardcovers make it really hard.” —Gizmodo
“Serious science fiction and fantasy readers cannot resist the
classics. . . . That’s what makes the Penguin Galaxy series so
appealing. . . . Each of the novels here has earned their place in
the halls of literary history. . . . Their small form factor and
minimalist covers call out to readers and make them fun to read all
over again.” —Kirkus Reviews
“With daily reminders of the intensifying effects of global
warming, the specter of a worldwide water shortage, and continued
political upheaval in the oil-rich Middle East, it is possible that
Dune is even more relevant now than when it was first published.”
—The New Yorker
“One of the monuments of modern science fiction.” —Chicago
Tribune
“A perfect, self-contained work of science fiction [with] a
powerful ecological message and a reminder to its readers that
their actions will have profound consequences for generations yet
unborn.” —The New York Times
“Unique . . . I know nothing comparable to it except Lord of the
Rings.” —Arthur C. Clarke, author of 2001: A Space Odyssey
