The Game is still going on.ĭice is helping to give out the eerie look of the cover. You must also notice that one is showing the six, the highest number, that is certain. The title does suggest a game, but two dice might be the indication of the protagonist’s battle with his demons. But one in the hand and one on the floor.ĭice here is on focus. There is internal fighting going on and there is also a killer in town. It is again a murder mystery, but there is a character whose father taught him to be a monster. And that’s might be the reason there is Dice. The Dice is on the blood, so the story might involve some murder. This is a mystery book with jazz around it. The cover is not giving full focus to any one object, but it is distributing it. Here we can see a pack of Cigarettes, but a very little part of it.

Paul Atreides, though, is far more than just a usurped duke. There he falls in with the Fremen, a tribe of desert dwellers who become the basis of the army with which he will reclaim what's rightfully his. The Harkonnens don't want to give up their privilege, though, and through sabotage and treachery they cast young Duke Paul Atreides out into the planet's harsh environment to die. The troubles begin when stewardship of Arrakis is transferred by the Emperor from the Harkonnen Noble House to House Atreides. Arrakis is the sole source of Melange, the "spice of spices." Melange is necessary for interstellar travel and grants psychic powers and longevity, so whoever controls it wields great influence. This Hugo and Nebula Award winner tells the sweeping tale of a desert planet called Arrakis, the focus of an intricate power struggle in a byzantine interstellar empire.

There Serge continued to write fiction, while struggling to expose the totalitarian character of the Soviet state for a while he also aided Trotsky, translating a number of his works. International protests from eminent figures such as André Gide succeeded in securing Serge’s freedom, and in 1936 he left Russia for exile in France. Released, Serge turned to writing fiction and history, only to be arrested again in 1933 and deported to Central Asia. Traveling between Petrograd, Moscow, Berlin, and Vienna, Serge served as the editor of the journal Communist International, but in 1928 his condemnation of Stalin’s growing power led to his expulsion from the Communist Party and imprisonment.
