Remote, isolated, and desolated: there really is no better setting for an adventure than a desert. Here are some of the best books curated by the Actionny review team that feature desert adventures.
Dune by Frank Herbert
The first installment of the Dune series, Dune is an interstellar adventure that revolves around several different noble houses battling to control the desert island Arrakis, upon which the coveted spice mélange resides.
Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey
An autobiographical work, Desert Solitaire is American writer Edward Abbey’s account of his experiences in the southwestern United States — a region that remains largely swathed in desert.
The Riddle of the Sands by Erskine Childers
An adventure novel that functions in the guise of spy fiction, The Riddle of the Sands is a fantastic example of how a regular yachting trip might quickly become a madcap investigation of the German’s plan to invade Britain. Plus, it’s perhaps one of the first modern thrillers ever written.
