Dune_ House Atreides - Brian Herbert [297]
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Dune fans will want to investigate, newcomers will be tempted, and it should promote fresh interest in the magnificent original series.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Dune: House Atreides is 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
“Brian Herbert and Anderson manage to fill in the historical gaps while keeping the story moving at a quick pace with more compelling and complete characters than Herbert père wrote.”
—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“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
“[The authors’] research and passion for the material have served them well. . . . Dune: House Atreides captures the essence of Dune while illuminating further the workings of Frank
Herbert’s universe.” —The Seattle Times
