Their New York Times bestselling trilogy, Dune: House Atreides, Dune: House Harkonnen, and Dune: House Corrino, formed a prequel to the classic Herbert series that was acclaimed by reviewers and readers alike. Decades after Herbert's original novels, the Dune saga was continued by Frank Herbert's son, Brian Herbert, an acclaimed SF novelist in his own right, in collaboration with Kevin J. Selling millions of copies worldwide, it is science fiction's answer to The Lord of the Rings, a brilliantly imaginative epic of high adventure, unforgettable characters, and immense scope. * Michael Glitz, New York Post on HA * The author's research and passion for the material have served them well.Frank Herbert's Dune series is one of the grandest epics in the annals of imaginative literature.

The first of a trilogy, the book is written so that those who have never read Dune can strat right here with the prequel.

a rousing story that juggles eight or so plot lines with ease. I can't wait for the sequel to the prequel * Mark Graham, Rocky Mountain News on HA *. Did I like it? Hey, I'm a Dune addict myself. * Dorman T Schindler, St Petersburg Times on House A * This book is 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 - maybe he did. Having done their research well, Herbert and Anderson have succeeded in laying out the foundation for a new trilogy that will amplify the original novels and stand firmly as a class act in its own right.

But new twists added by Herbert and Anderson will have fans, both old and new, turning pages. * Dean Koontz * Those who long to return to the world of desert, spice and sandworms will be amply satisfied * The Times * In a word satisfying: all Dune fans will want to investigate, newcomers will be tempted, and it should promise fresh interest in the magnificent original series * Kirkus * All these characters and themes will be familiar to fans of the original Dune novels. Frank Herbert would surely be delighted and proud of this continuation of his vision. * Beyond the Cover * House Atreides is a terrific prequel, but it's also a first-rate adventure on its own.

The result is a winning combination that keeps the two in stride with Frank Herbert's vision. * Anne McCaffrey on House Harkonnen * Dune: House Atreides is packed with action, great story lines and twists within twists about favorite Dune villains and heroes. Such vile villains.and such a fascinating description of splendid places. I certainly enjoyed meeting pardot Kynes and Liet, learning more about the Freman, as well as Gurney Halleck, Duncan Idaho and the Lady Jessica. a compelling story that will transport readers back to the world that changed science fiction forever * Tattered Times, Denver, Colarado * House Harkonnen is compulsive reading.
