Our view
“Dune: House Atreides” opens the “Prelude to Dune” trilogy, a prequel for readers who know Frank Herbert’s universe and want its earlier history. Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson wrote it from notes he left behind and set it before the events of “Dune”. The mood is adventurous and dark, the matter dynasties and conspiracy, and it runs past six hundred pages.
