Anderson, I was disappointed by a book that could in no way, shape, or form, even begin to slake the thirst that Frank Herbert's Dune books created. Brian and KJA gave us what you would expect from them: expository text that is at times insulting to the reader, stuffed to the gills with flowery prose (so you don't notice the smell), and an acute case of thesaurusitis. So, I must have been insane, at least, temporarily, when I thought that House Harkonnen would be different. Were I the authors of this book, I would have followed that statement with a "It wasn't," because that's just what you can come to expect from the son of a great writer and a professional fan fiction author. The only redeeming quality of this book is that you don't actually have to pay attention to what you're reading when you're reading. Any guns of Chekhov's that are seeded on page 10 don't need to be noticed by the reader, because before it's fired, you'll get reminded of its presence and told its significance, and why you should care. In a few more years, I may give another non-Frank Dune book a shot, but in my sampling of the crap that these two jokers produced and are still producing (and surprisingly, people are still buying) there is no point in reading these books. The synopses of these books are better written, and cut out most of the fluffy fat that you can come to expect from these two "authors." Highly unrecommended.

La casa Harkonnen es la segunda parte de «Preludio a Dune», una de las aclamadas precuelas con las que Brian Herbert complementó la excepcional saga de ciencia ficción de su padre, Frank Herbert, «Dune». En ella, una amplia galería de personajes coge el testigo del fascinante universo recreado en la serie original. Shaddam ostenta una precaria posición como gobernador del Universo Conocido, la cual depende de que engendre un heredero varón. Su liderazgo es además amenazado por el ambicioso barón Harkonnen, cuyas insaciables ansias de dominio le llevan a conspirar contra algunas de las más poderosas fuerzas del Imperio, con la esperanza de elevar su Casa a un nivel de poder sin precedentes. Sus objetivos principales son la Casa Atreides y la misteriosa hermandad Bene Gesserit. La Hermandad no sospecha esta amenaza, ocupada en culminar el trabajo de siglos y crear un niño-dios que barrerá emperadores, Casas y la propia historia en un terrorífico nuevo orden de tiranía religiosa. El planeta Dune también padece la atroz esclavitud impuesta por los crueles Harkonnen, decididos a explotar sus recursos y en especial la adictiva melange, especia que solo se encuentra en Dune. Héroes inesperados empiezan a surgir ansiosos por vengarse del barón Harkonnen... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Before . . . The epic tale of Duke Leto Atreides and his rise to power . . .
