Description
It is the year 10,154 of the Imperial Calendar, and for four decades the planet Arrakis—called Dune by its inhabitants—has been ruled by the Harkonnen family. But the seeds of change have been sown.
On Arrakis, an idealistic young planetologist, Pardot Kynes, ventures into the desert to unravel the secrets of its giant sandworms and the priceless Spice they create. Simultaneously, on another planet, Caledon, young Leto Atreides is nearly ready to assume his role as duke. The longstanding blood feud between House Atreides and House Harkonnen is about to ignite.
Drawing on notes, outlines, and correspondence Frank Herbert left behind at his death, House Atreides unfolds as a breathtaking story of war, treachery, decadence, and steadfastness in the face of overwhelming odds.

About the Author
FRANK HERBERT, who created Dune, was born in 1920 and spent most of his early life in the Pacific Northwest of America. He was a professional photographer, journalist and occasional oyster-diver; he also had stints as a radio news commentator and jungle survival instructor. BRIAN HERBERT, his son, is a widely-published science fiction author in his own right. This is his first novel to call on his father's work: previously, he has created his own worlds, sometimes in collaboration. He has also written Dreamer of Dune, a comprehensive biography of his illustrious father. KEVIN J. ANDERSON is best known for his world-wide best-selling novels based on the universes of Star Wars and the X Files: he has been a Sunday Times number one bestseller. He is also the author of several more critically-acclaimed original novels. An expert on the US space programme, he worked at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for ten years.
