In Frank Herbert's Dune, just one planet produces a commodity so valuable, it's responsible for faster-than-light space travel and granting its users extended lifespans and psychic powers. This product, known as spice, is related to the planet's fearsome 400-meter sandworms and becomes the center of an interstellar war. Control the spice and the universe with this look at the ecology of Dune.
