"Idaho Falls"

from US$35.00

Duncan Idaho is certainly one of the more complex characters in F. Herbert’s DUNE saga. Over the course of his long lives, we know him as Swordmaster, Mentat, Consort to Alia, expert Pilot, favourite advisor to God Emperor Leto II, and “stud” for future generations of Humanity—the “1000 sons of Duncan” comes to mind.

I have always believed that Duncan allows the reader to insert themself into this grand tale. We are given every opportunity to experience these adventures through Duncan’s eyes. When I realized this (many years ago), I found that I could return to the saga at any time, imagine that I was a Mentat (or one of the many other roles) reading these words, and then always find new connections that had escaped me on previous reads. It’s been over 40 years since I discovered Herbert, yet I re-read this saga each and every year.

What does Duncan mean to you? Do you see yourself in him? Or, do you see yourself wearing the life of one of the many other fascinating characters we are given?

I invite you to own this print as a reminder that you can be the many-faceted hero in your own life. You have the insight of a Mentat, the protectiveness of a Swordmaster, and the wisdom of an advisor…if you can just tap into your very own “inner selves”.
