About this product

Product Information

It is the year 10,154 of the Imperial Calendar, and for four decades the planet Arrakis - called Dune by its inhabitants - has been ruled by the Harkonnen family. But the seeds of change have been sown.. On Arrakis, an idealistic young planetologist, Pardot Kynes, goes out into the desert to learn the secrets of its giant sandworms and the priceless Spice they create. And on another planet, Caledon, young Leto Atreides is nearly ready to become duke. The blood feud between House Atreides and House Harkonnen is about to begin. Drawing on notes, outlines and correspondence Frank Herbert left behind at his death, as well as conversations and brainstorming sessions Brian Herbert held with his father, House Atreides is a breathtaking story of war, treachery and decadence; of love, loyalty and steadfastness in the face of overwhelming odds.

  • Explanations and lead-ups to the main book.

    Good 'readability' and has become a read that carries on long after my allotted lunchtime (much to my wife's annoyance). It has become a, 'I'll just read one more chapter book' and of course you carry on. My only complaint would be that it is titled 'House Atreides' but doesn't start going into that branch of the family until what seems quite late in the book but by then - who cares - you are attached to it, rather a good read.
