arkobla 's review for:
House Harkonnen
by Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson
As I stated in the first book of this series, I was concerned about the quality of the story vs the Original. I personally feel that the quality is on par. Dune is the penultimate story but this series does a great job getting all of the players into position for it. We are learning about Duncan Idaho, Gurney Halleck, Duke Leto, Jessica, the Harkonnen's and other plots and sub-plots. I have found the story fascinating.
The ending of this novel was rough - certain events, which you knew had to be coming, happened to shake the Atreide's world. We can see the Duke from Dune starting to be built - brick by experienced brick in this series. Some of these Bricks are bitter indeed.
Almost everything is now where I would expect them to be...and there is a third novel in this prelude trilogy. I expect that novel to lead us to where Atreide's is given governorship to Arrakis.
If you like the Dune novels... These really are a must read.
