Book One of the Epic Prequel to the Classic Novel Dune—Soon to Be a Major Motion Picture

Step into the universe of Frank Herbert's Dune, one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time.

Before Paul Atreides became Muad'Dib, the dynamic leader who unified the wild Fremen on the desert planet known as Dune . . .

Before the evil Baron Harkonnen overthrew House Atreides and sent Paul and his mother Jessica fleeing into the deadly wasteland of sand . . .

Before the secrets of the spice and the sandworms were discovered . . .

There was another story . . .

The tale of young Leto Atreides learning to become a ruler in the shadow of his great father.

The tale of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, ruthless tyrant who becomes a pawn of Bene Gesserit breeding schemes.

The tale of Pardot Kynes, ambitious planetologist dispatched to the sands of Arrakis to understand the origins of the spice melange, the most valuable substance in the known universe.

And the tale of Crown Prince Shaddam Corrino, whose lust for power leads him to plot the assassination of his own father and to create a plan that will replace the spice and disrupt the Imperium forever . . .

Dune: House Atreides begins the epic worldwide bestselling trilogy that tells of the generation before Dune and sows the seeds for great heroes, vile enemies, and terrible tyrants.

Look for the entire prequel series

    Just read Dune until the end of "Children of Dune." Stop there.

    I won't dissuade anyone from reading, but as a life long fan of Frank Herbert's original work - his son's novels are all awful. He fundamentally misses the nuances of what made his father's work timeless, lacks creativity and are generally poorly written. I would not recommend.

    Always rep a good Dune deal (even though I already had this one).

    Are these books written by his son any good? I typically avoid story continuations when the original author passed.

    I've not heard great things about them so I've personally avoided them.

    I read this one a few years ago and I really disliked it. I was able to finish but didn't keep going through the trilogy. It reads like a bad fan fiction. Would love to hear other perspectives or if the rest of the trilogy was good.

    I read all of them, I did enjoy them. Then again, the last of the Dune books were so bad that this was quite refreshing in comparison

    They're really poorly written and are basically fan fiction. Their whole terminator AI nonsense has nothing to do with what Frank wrote.

    Curious as to which books you're referring to or to how you would rank the original books then?

    I really enjoyed this and the other books in this series. I read this when it came out in 1999-2000. Remember this was written 34 years after Dune came out in 1965. Don't expect Dune. The originals got weird as they went on. Sit back and enjoy this universe.

    Frank Herbert didn't write about the Butlerian Jihad/Machine Crusade?

    I finally slogged my way through the whole Dune series a few years ago. Before that I had only made through Children of Dune. I liked the series a lot better after I watched a bunch of explainer videos on YouTube. Frank Herbert had an amazing imagination but was terrible with exposition. There is literally no explanation of what is happening in any of the books.
