nortxhawk 's review for:

House Harkonnen by Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson
4.0

A worthy prelude to Dune that really begins to set the table and delves deep into the background politics and outright animosity among the great and minor houses of the Imperium. There are plenty of bad guys and good, moral characters and immoral that leads one on to the next edition in the Prelude series, House Corrine. I read many of these when I was much younger but not in the chronological, but the publication order. I am now, slowly, but surely, going through in the chronological order of the series and am deriving even more enjoyment from the ongoing saga.
