Description

Book Three of the Epic Prequel to the Classic Novel Dune—Soon to Be a Major Motion Picture The grand finale of the complex epic trilogy of the generation before Frank Herbert’s masterwork Dune. Shaddam Corrino IV, Emperor of the Known Universe, has risked everything to create a substitute for the spice melange . . . The substance that makes space travel possible . . . That prolongs life . . . That allows prescience . . . A substance that is found only on the desert planet Arrakis, a harsh world of storms and monstrous sandworms. Shaddam has used the noble houses as chess pieces for his scheme, causing the overthrow of powerful families, raising other houses to power. The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood works their own plans, manipulating bloodlines, trying to create their long-awaited messiah, the Kwisatz Haderach. Duke Leto Atreides battles his mortal enemy, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, while his love for the beautiful and wise Jessica grows even in the face of bloodshed and betrayal. But are they all just pawns of an inevitable future centered around the planet Dune? Look for the entire prequel series DUNE: HOUSE ATREIDES • DUNE: HOUSE HARKONNEN • DUNE: HOUSE CORRINO Read more

    • A Fitting end to this trilogy of books…
A fitting end to the trilogy of books that lays the groundwork for the Dune Saga to begin! I thoroughly loved it.

    • A much richer story and plot line than expected
The author(s) seem to get better with each one of the Dune saga prequel books. This book specifically, masterfully brings the reader to understand the events that culminate with the ascension of the great house of the Atreides to the status seen in the original books. Having read all books now available, Frank Herbert’s 3 times each book, I believe this is probably my second or third most favorite of the Dune universe, which is surprising to me, since I consider Frank Herbert to have been a much better writer. Superb reading! ... show more

    • Enjoy the prequels to The Dune Epic
I admit although I’ve read The Dune Series several times, the prequels are better! Maybe because the complexity of the original is a harder read Experiencing the characters prior to the prequels just let me have a relaxed, easy read of Houses books The prequels would not be what they are without the original…time to revisit Dune… ... show more

    • The web tightens
For fans of the greatest SF saga of all time, this precursor tale sets the table and answers questions one may have as he or she reads the classic, Dune. Chronologically, there are still two volumes to go before one gets to Dune and I look forward to reading them before I delve once again into Dune.

    • Excellent prequel trilogy for Dune
As I read I felt I was back in the Dune Universe that I had visited in my youth. Kevin & Brian have enriched the dream Frank Herbert shared with the world.

    • I still like these even better than the original
This third book of the series of prequels to the original Dune series is a satisfying tapestry of politics, intrigue, and action leading to the birth of Paul Atreides and the settling down of the turmoil that has been the Imperium throughout the three-book series. Of course, the new calm and order will only be temporary we know, as more mayhem and disorder will break out at the point where the original Dune novel begins. As it happens, pretty much everybody has declared war on everybody else. The secret plots, the attacks – open and otherwise – and the puzzling questions about what is going on … well, it fairly boggles the mind. Shaddam’s amal project and his drive to eliminate all stockpiles of natural melange threaten to wreck the empire altogether when it turns out that amal is actually poisonous and can’t be used by the Guild Navigators to pilot their Heighliners through space. Arrakis misses being turned into a burnt and lifeless cinder by that much. Even the newborn Paul Atreides can’t escape the plotting; he is barely out of the womb before Baron Harkonnen’s twisted Mentat, Piter de Vries tries to kidnap him. Luckily for everybody, he is ultimately not successful. ... show more

    • Best of the prequels!
I am a lifelong dune fan in love all of the books. I’ve always found (with all due respect) the non-Frank Herbert books to be not nearly as weighty and engaging. This one is really good IMHO The best of the bunch
