Brian Herbert Libros

A la muerte de Frank Herbert, su hijo Brian Herbert complementó la mítica serie de novelas de ciencia ficción de su padre con dos aclamadas precuelas. La casa Atreides es la primera parte de «Preludio a Dune», ambientada 35 años antes de los acontecimientos de «Dune». Con una barroca y sabia combinación de filosofía, religión, política, historia y ecología, La Casa Atreides, primera parte de «Preludio a Dune», revela cruciales detalles de la genealogía de los principales personajes de la saga «Dune», centrando su trama en la Casa Atreides y en el desértico planeta Dune, que contiene la melange, la especia indispensable para los viajes espaciales y el desarrollo de los poderes psicosensoriales. En Dune gobiernan los crueles Harkonnen, pero en el palacio imperial de Kaitain el príncipe heredero Shaddam y su pérfido consejero Fenring planean obtener melange sintética y envenenar al emperador Elrood. Una emocionante novela de aventuras que nos transporta al exótico universo creado por Frank Herbert, ya conocido por sus seguidores, y que introducirá a los nuevos lectores en un incomparable mundo cuyo futuro pende de un delgado hilo. -- From publisher's description
