Summary

Before Dune... The epic tale of Duke Leto Atreides and his rise to power... The fierce ambitions of his mortal enemy, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen... The struggles of the young girl Jessica, the Baron's secret daughter, under the harsh training of the Sisterhood school... The schemes of Shaddam Corrino to create a synthetic spice that may bring unlimited wealth, or cause the collapse of the Spacing Guild... And the implausible dream of Planetologist Kynes to turn the desert planet Dune into a paradise, uniting the desperate Fremen into a force unlike anything the Imperium has ever seen... House Harkonnen continues the epic story that lays the foundation for Frank Herbert's Dune, a complex tale of politics, religion, and the rise and fall of dynasties on a galaxy-spanning canvas
