2000: second book in the Prelude to Dune trilogy)
From the back cover
“As
Shaddam sits at last on the Golden Lion Throne, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen plots
against the new Emperor and House Atreides ─ and against the mysterious
Sisterhood of the Bene Gesserit. For Leto Atreides, grown complacent and
comfortable as ruler of his House, it is a time of momentous choice between friendship
and duty, safety and destiny. But for the survival of House Atreides, there is
just one choice ─ strive for greatness or be crushed.”
Review
Harkonnen is an excellent follow-up
to House Atreides, a
sometimes-literally explosive and character-furthering story that builds on the
tensions and events of Atreides. As
with that source prequel, there is plenty of suspense, dread, action, politics
and plotting that maintains the feel of Frank Herbert’s original Dune series. If you are a fan of the
original series, there is a good chance you might enjoy Atreides. Followed by Dune:House Corrino.
