DescriptionHumanity has spread across space and powerful machines rule the humans who were once their masters. Promotion infoBrian Herbert has also written "Dreamer of Dune", a biography of his father Frank, and this novel presents a background to the Dune universe. Together with Kevin J. Anderson, he has also written "House Atreides", "House Corrino" and "House Harkonnen". Reviews'House Harkonnen is compulsive reading. I certainly enjoyed meeting pardot Kynes and Liet, learning more about the Freman, as well as Gurney Halleck, Duncan Idaho and the Lady Jessica. Such vile villains...and such a fascinating description of splendid places.' -- Anne McCaffrey on House Harkonnen '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 Those who long to return to the world of desert, spice and sandworms will be amply satisfied -- The Times Author descriptionBRIAN HERBERT 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. |
