Anderson team with Dev Pramanik to adapt Herbert and Anderson’s 1999 novel prequel to Frank Herbert’s Dune. The story focuses on a young Leto Atreides traveling to Ix as part of his training to become the future Duke. There, he discovers that the Ixian machine makers are pushing the boundaries of the Butlerian Jihad against thinking machines. Meanwhile, prince Shaddam begins poisoning his father, Emperor Elrood, in order to later ascend to the position of Padishah Emperor himself. A Bene Gesserit travels to Giedi Prime to seduce Vladimir Harokonnen as part of their breeding program, while a young Duncan Idaho must use his wits to evade a Harkonnen hunting party. On Arakkis, Pardot Kynes begins his work as Imperial Planetologist, becoming enamored of the planet’s ecology and befriending the Fremen. Overall, the story entertains and provides some nice backstory for those who were curious about events leading to the original Dune. Pramanik’s artwork is the real highlight. It’s stunning, barely contained on the page, and dynamic. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Set in the years leading up the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Dune-which inspired the upcoming feature film from Legendary Pictures- DUNE: HOUSE ATREIDES transports readers to the far future on the desert planet Arrakis where Pardot Kynes seeks its secrets. * Meanwhile, a violent coup is planned by the son of Emperor Elrood; an eight-year-old slave Duncan Idaho seeks to escape his cruel masters; and a young man named Leto Atreides begins a fateful journey. * These unlikely souls are drawn together first as renegades and then as something more, as they discover their true fate - to change the very shape of history!"--Amazon.

While original Dune books slowly evolved in pretty convoluted metaphysical and philosophical mambo-jumbo (I mean there are entries in this saga that are hundred's of pages long and story takes place in period of maybe few months) original three books (Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune) were masterpieces because they were to-the-point and very lean examples of writing.
Dune prequels suffer of well known prequel syndrome - they try to explain every nook and cranny and story suffers because of this because it starts to look like pure filler. Don't get me wrong, Butlerian Jihad stories were great, but rest were a little bit ... underwhelming [at least to me].
That being said this is excellent introduction for new readers and I think lots of people will also pick up novels and start deep-diving into this universe.
Art is a little bit too cartoonish (reminds me of art for Star Wars Bane comics). It is not bad but for this universe maybe more .... realistic? ..... art would be better. But again it is my opinion.
Interesting book that will definitely introduce the Dune universe to wider range of readers.
