	The SF Site Featured Review: Dune: House Atreides
		So mixed with the apprehension was hope that Dune: House Atreides would be equal to the better efforts in the Dune epic.
		But the biggest problem with Dune: House Atreides is the lack of strong female characters.
		In the end, though, by showing us the lives of some interesting people just as they are first achieving prominence in their world, Dune: House Atreides becomes a worthy addition to the Dune series.

	Gourmet Food Shop >> House Atreides (Dune: House Trilogy, Book 1) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Although there is valid criticism of House Atreides in these customer reviews, perhaps the one I agree with the most is the authors' compulsion to provide a "recap" of known (and previously established) events, concepts, or character motivations at the beginning of virtually every chapter...
		House Atreides is not worth incurring a water debt, and you may wish to wait for the paperback if your budget is tight, but read it!
		The same sense sticks with you in House Atreides, but remains unrequited, because the novel does little to hold your interest (there are only thin plot-lets) and the figures of your favorite characters have lost their dynamic unfolding in the retelling.

	House Harkonnen
		House Harkonnen is, in many ways, the antithesis of all that House Atreides stands for.
		When the political winds force House Corrino to side against the Atreides, the Baron is more than willing to spend his carefully guarded reserves of spice to pay for the passage of the legions of Sardaukar to Arrakis, as well as providing them with Harkonnen livery to hide the Padishah Emperor's part in the attack.
		Thus the kanly, or vendetta, between the Atreides and the Harkonnens was settled.

		The sequel to 'House Atreides', House Harkonnen manages to improve slightly on it's predecessor, but not by much.
		Meanwhile, on Lankeviel, Vladimir's brother, and Rabban's father, is not being sufficiently evil, and is therefore an embarrassment to House Harkonnen.
		It's difficult to believe that House Harkonnen is as powerful as it is, given their waste, repression and general incompetence.
