Helpful Score: 1

A disappointing entry to the Dune legend which, as written, actually detracts from Frank Herbert's sweeping vision rather than bringing anything new to the table. As mentioned before, this book focuses on the small details adding history to the Atreides/Ix story that does nothing to move Dune along outside of this specific story. The book is written well enough were it going to stand alone (which it couldn't being entirely dependent on the Dune 'universe') but the authors are attempting to fill spaces Mr. Herbert had left open in his own narrative and their attempt doesn't fit with what's already there.
