ReviewsRaves forDune: House Harkonnen "[Fans] rejoice in this chance to return to one of science fiction's most appealing futures." --The New York Times Book Review "Rich interweaving of politics and plotting made the Dune novels special. AndDune: House Atreidesdoes its predecessor justice." --USA Today "A spirited and entertaining adventure--The real pleasure here comes from watching the authors lay out the plot threads that will converge in Dune." --The Philadelphia Inquirer "(The authors) have brought this classic saga back to an exciting and dynamic life." --The Denver Post "A rousing story." --The New York Post "The attendant exciting and myriad revelations not only make this novel a terrific read in its own right bull will inspire readers to turn, or return, to its great predecessor." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Dune: House Atreidesis 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. --Dean Koontz "Written in a style so close to the original that it is hard to believe Frank Herbert did not direct it through some mysterious genetic link--I can't wait for the sequel." --Rocky Mountain News

SynopsisDune: House Harkonnencontinues t he unforgettable saga begun inDune: House Atreides, as a vast array of rich and complex figures strives to shape a sprawling universe of mystery and vivid universe revealed in the thrilling pages of Frank Herbert'sDune. Dune: House Harkonnen At last Shaddam sits on the Golden Lion Throne, his precarious position as ruler of the Known Universe dependent on producing a male heir. But his leadership is further threatened by the ambitious Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, whose insatiable thirst for dominance leads him to plot against some of t he most powerful forced in the Imperium, hoping to elevate his own ruthless House to unprecedented heights of power. His primary targets: House Atreides and the mysterious Bene Gasserit Sisterhood. The Sisterhood are unaware of this threat as they prepare to culminate the work of centuries in the creation of a god-child who will sweep away emperors, houses, and history itself in a terrifying new order of religious tyranny. The desert world Dune, the machine world IX, and countless other conquered planets groan under the numbing slavery of cruel new masters determined to exploit their resources - most notably the addictive spice melange found only on Dune. But small bands of renegades begin to fight back, lighting the spark of freedom against overwhelming odds. New, unexpected heroes arise: young and resourceful Liet-Kynes on Dune, wily and patient C'tair on IX, and the unyielding Gurney Halleck in Giedi Prime, driven to vengeance against his Harkonnen overlords. For Leto Atreides, grown complacent and comfortable as ruler of his House, it is time of momentous choice: between love and honor, friendship and duty, safety and destiny. Leto has finally produced an heir to House Atreides, Victor, and will make whatever choices necessary to protect the young boy and ensure his legacy as Duke. Ultimately, however, for House Atreides there is just one choice - strive for greatness or crushed.

Worth the time to read!
A continuation of the epic prequel saga of Dune novels originally written by Frank Herbert. Herbert's son, Brian and Kevin J Anderson , have faithfully chronicled the stories and characters leading up to the advent of the original volume. Although the writing style is more descriptive and less subtle than Frank Herbert's writings it is still worth the time for anyone who is an enthusiast of the 'Dune Universe'.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
