"[FANS] REJOICE IN THIS CHANCE TO RETURN TO ONE OF SCIENCE FICTION'S MOST APPEALING FUTURES."
- The New York Times Book Review

Frank Herbert's award-winning Dune chronicles captured the imagination of millions of readers worldwide.  By his death in 1986, Herbert had completed six novels in the series, but much of his vision remained unwritten.  Now, working from his father's recently discovered files, Brian Herbert and bestselling novelist Kevin J. Anderson collaborate on a new novel, the prelude to Dune - where we step onto the planet Arrakis... decades before Dune's hero, Paul Muad'Did Atreides, walks its sands.

Here is the rich and complex world that Frank Herbert created, in the time leading up to the momentous events of Dune.  As Emperor Elrood's son plots a subtle regicide, young Leto Atreides leaves for a years education on the mechanized world of Ix; a planetologist named Pardot Kynes seeks the secrets of Arrakis; and the eight year old slave Duncan Idaho is hunted by his cruel masters in a terrifying game from which he vows escape and vengeance.  But none can envision the fate in store for them: one that will make them renegades - and shapers of history.

DUNE
HOUSE HARKONNEN


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 Let 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.

DUNE
HOUSE CORRINO


In subterranean labs on the planet Ix, cruel Tleilaxu overlords are busy manufacturing a synthetic form of melange known as amal.  If amal can supplant the spice from Dune, Emperor Shaddam IV will gain absolute power.  But if the plot of the Imperial House Corrino succeeds, this madness may result in the end of space travel, the Imperium, and civilization itself.  It is only Duke Leto Atreides, badly overmatched yet desperate to free the Ixians from their oppressors, who stands a chance of averting this cataclysmic tragedy...
