 The Blue Iris Journal: Dune: House Atreides
Unfortunately, none of that kind of depth and scope is evident in Dune: House Atreides, the "prequel" to the original novel written by Herbert's son, Brian, and Kevin J. Anderson.
Although apparently based on the elder Herbert's own project notes, this attempt to add to the saga that is Dune seems more an attempt to cash in on the original's existing base of fans.
Despite the title, Duke Paulus Atreides and his son, Leto, are only two in a mass of characters, the existence of more than a few of which are totally extraneous.

 Kevin J. Anderson & Brian Herbert's Prelude to Dune: House Atreides. The Eternal Night Science Fiction, Fantasy and ...
Dune, House Atreides takes place not in the far past of the events depicted in the original series but in the rather recent past.
Thus, the reader gets to learn much of what Paul Maud'Dib Atreides' father was like as a child, before he became Duke and when House Atreides was still firmly entrenched on Caladan.
We also get to meet Paul's Grandfather, Duke Paulus Atreides (Leto's Father), in the first half of the book, whose interactions with Leto set up the reader's understanding of the famous Atreides honesty and sense of honor.

This would be no small task for any author, or authors, attempting such a feat but I think Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have come as close as they possibly could to achieving their goal.
By going just far enough back to key in on some of the earlier exploits of characters made familiar in the original books, they were able to capture my interest and further delve into the mysteriousness of the "Dune" saga.
This allowed them a much broader area in which to create their story, instead of trying to put the reader in a place made so familiar to them by Frank Herbert in the original series.

_Dune: House Atreides_ is set some 40 years prior to the events of _Dune_.
Any story set amid a ten thousand-year-old civilization is inherently /in media res/, but it nonetheless provides plenty of revelatory answers to the assumed premises of the first novel and its appendices.
On its homeworld of Giedi Prime, House Harkonnen has been accumulating illegal reserves of melange, and the Bene Gesserit use that secret to coerce the Baron into their breeding plan, which nears completion.
