Second book in the Prequels explaining the development of House Harkonnen as a major power and their history with House Atreides. House Harkonnen is the dark side of House Atreides. They stand for all that is ruthless, arrogant and hateful. They despise all that symbolize the beauty of life. They regard life as one more thing to be controlled or crushed into fearful submission. The Atreides believe in loyalty, trust and truth. House Harkonnen shows the darkest side of political maneuvering, plans within plans, everyone is expendable. No viscous plan is above consideration to meet there ends. Ascension by assassination out right poisoning, or a scheme well played out against a brother. All will bow to their iron hand, the battle lines are drawn between the two great houses, and they now have an arch enemy House Atreides. Murder, intrige, plots, plans, assasinations, that is only part of the book. What of the mysterious Bene Gesserit and their breeding program? A must read for Dune fans, or those just coming to know the epic Dune series
