“A rousing story.”

“[The authors] succeed in weaving their own intricate saga.”

“Every bit as complex and compelling as the original Dune novels.”

“The attendant excitement and myriad revelations not only make this novel a terrific read in its own right but will inspire readers to turn, or return, to its great predecessor.”

“Dune fans will want to investigate, newcomers will be tempted, and it should promote fresh interest in the magnificent original series.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“[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.”
