Together, Herbert and Anderson have written numerous international
bestselling novels set in the universe of Frank
Herbert’s Dune, as well as the definitive graphic novel
adaptation of the classic Dune. They are the authors of an

Awakening, and Hellhole Inferno.
“Each action lays another stone in the remarkable construct of the
world of Dune.”—Booklist
“The second ‘Dune’ series is proving to be more accessible and just
as entertaining as the original.”—Oregonian
As Emperor Shaddam IV seeks to consolidate his power as Emperor of a Million Worlds through the monopoly of the spice trade, other forces array themselves in opposition to his increasingly tyrannical rule. Herbert and Anderson conclude their trilogy (Dune: House Atreides; Dune: House Harkonnen) chronicling the years leading up to the events portrayed in the late Frank Herbert's Dune with a war for the liberation of the conquered planet Ix and the birth of a son to Duke Leto Atreides and his Bene Gesserit wife, Jessica. Though dependent on the previous books, this complex and compelling tale of dynastic intrigue and high drama adds a significant chapter to the classic Dune saga. Highly recommended.
