House Atreides by Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson
5.0
I have a huge love for the Dune series, but by far my favorite is House Atreides. Unlike most people who probably started reading the Dune series with the original novel, Dune, I started with House Atreides. I read House Atreides and the two books that follow in this trilogy and then proceeded to read Dune. I always have such a longing to re-read all these books in this series, but House Atreides still remains my favorite.
I'm now re-reading all the books in order with a friend, and I was curious to see if I would enjoy House Atreides as much as I had previously. I loved it so much it felt that I was reading it for the very first time.
House Atreides is set in a time when the Harkonnens have just taken over Arrakis, when the Duke Paulus Atreides is residing in his castle in Caladan, and Elrood is still the Emperor of the known Universe, with his son Shaddam trying to take over the throne.
In House Atreides the reader follows the action as the key players fight for power, with the Bene Gesserit trying to continue their breeding plans to create the "one", the Messiah! The Harkonnens and Atreides continue their feud that has lasted a millenia and a young orphan called Duncan Idaho starts a trek towards Caladan, that will leave his imprint on the Atreides house for many generations.
If you like space opera and you are a fan of science fiction, I strongly recommend this trilogy and every single book in the Dune series in fact. It is beyond amazing, and a must read for all scifi fans.
