Dune: House Atreides (House Trilogy, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Frank Herbert's Dune chronicles became an enduring classic and one of the most popular science fiction series of all time. Working from notes left by his father, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson deliver a trilogy that is the prequel to Dune, the story of young Leto Atreides, unexpectedly forced to become the Duke of Caladan, as well as his epic romance with the lovely Lady Jessica, his original battles with the evil Baron Harkonnen, along with other parts of the grand story, how Crown Prince Shaddam Corrino took the Imperial throne through treachery with his friend Count Fenring, and how the planetologist Pardot Kynes is assigned to the desert planet to understand the mysterious spice, the secretive Fremen, and the awe-inspiring sandworms.

Dune: House Atreides captures all the complexity and grand themes of the original work while weaving a new tapestry of great passion and momentous destiny into a saga that expands the tale written by Frank Herbert more than fifty years ago.
