The blood feud between Duke Leto of Caladon and Baron Vladimir Harkonnen reaches its climax, as the emperor Shaddam – leader of House Corrino – is finally forced to curb the powerful Harkonnens or risk losing his own throne. Menawhile, Duke Leto’s beautiful concubie, the Bene Gesserit temptress Jessica,- has conceived the boy who become Paul Atreides (the hero of Dune), defying the express orders of her superiors. The book culminates in a war – on Dune, on the oppressed planet Ix, in space – that will alter the balance of power for a generation.

Reviews

Dean Koontz on House Atreides
House Atreides is a terrific prequel, but it's also a first-rate adventure on its own. Frank Herbert would surely be delighted and proud of this continuation of his vision.
The Times on House Atreides
Those who long to return to the world of desert, spice and sandworms will be amply satisfied.
USA Today on House Atreides
Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson succeed in weaving their own intricate saga. Dune: House Atreides does its predecessors justice.
The New York Times Book review on House Harkonnen
Succeeds admirably
Anne McCaffrey on House Harkonnen
House Harkonnen is compulsive reading. I certainly enjoyed meeting pardot Kynes and Liet, learning more about the Freman, as well as Gurney Halleck, Duncan Idaho and the Lady Jessica. Such vile villains...and such a fascinating description of splendid places.
