This is a prequel to the famous Dune series written by the authors father Frank Herbert, and is one of a long series of books which pre-date the famous Dune books....others include Dune House Atreides, House Harkonnen, and The Winds of Dune. The various series by Brian Herbert, written after his father's death HAVE HAD A MIXED RECEPTION, some liking the continuation of his father's concept and others feeling the books didn't have the atmospheric feel of the original series and were playing on Frank Herbert's fame

Review of 'Dune' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

So the first book in the series was quite good. But halfway book 2 it goes rapidly downhill, with book 3 (this one) being the worst. A lot of stuff thought up by Brian just don't make sense in the canon of Dune, and most of the book is basically plugging holes, so it somehow leads into the Dune books. But in a very, very sloppy way. Lots of good ideas from the first book are left, because he just didn't know what to do with them. Very disappointing read.
