	House Corrino - Definition, explanation
		House Corrino is a ruling family in the fictional Dune universe of Frank Herbert.
		Members of this Imperial House ruled as Emperors of the Known Universe from the time of the Butlerian Jihad until the defeat of the 81st Emperor of House Corrino, Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, by "Muad'dib" (Paul Atreides) and the Fremen approximately 10,000 years later.
		The harsh conditions of their homeworld encouraged the survival of the strong, and allowed the Corrinos to develop the universe's most-feared military units, the warrior-fanatic Sardaukar, the means by which House Corrino controlled the Empire.

	Great Houses
		It was ruled by Duke Leto I until the treachery of the Emperor, Shaddam IV, and House Corrino caused the death of the Duke and the succession of the House into the hands of Paul, and subsequently, the God Emperor.
		The House Corrino is closely related to House Atreides, and the two were once allied.
		House Corrino's existence is, in part, due to the heroics of House Atreides at the Battle of Corrin, in 88 B.G. House Harkonnen inhabits Giedi Prime, the Ophiuchi B. Their world is a putrid place, soaked in oil from industry and environmental abuse.

		The nobility of the great houses consume it because it confers long life, health and mental insight.

		House Corrino is the third book of the Prelude To Dune trilogy, in which we learn of the events that took place before the birth of Paul Atreides, the hero of Dune, Frank Herbert's 1960s masterpiece.

	Landsraad Permanent Mission of House Corrino
		The Royal Court finds it both apt and appropriate that Gamont be awarded to House Leontis as due compensation for the devastation wreaked upon their homeworld Laoujin II by the unprovoked, illegal, and deceitful atomic attack undertaken by House Ginaz two months ago.
		House Corrino takes its name from the Battle of Corrin during which forces loyal to the Imperium fought those traitors and renegades who sought to spread dissent across the universe.
		The Battle, which took place near the Sigma Draconis sector in 88B.G (Before Guild), is taken as the beginning of the ascendancy of House Corrino and its subsequent and prolonged reign as holders of the Golden Lion Throne.

	dragonsworn [book review] - House Corrino, Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson
		Spanning the barren deserts of Arrakis, the subterranean caverns of Ix, the oceans of Caladan, the splendor of Kaitain, and even the forbidden Spacing Guild planet of Junction, 'House Corrino' is an ambitious novel which encompasses the entire universe of Dune.
		As with the earlier novels, 'House Corrino' is devoid of any real character development, making it difficult for the reader to establish any emotional connections with any of the protagonists, or even antagonists for that matter.
		House Corrino manages to entertain without stumbling under the weight of requirements which oft times plague prequels.

		Soon after the apparent defeat of House Atreides, it’s new Duke, Paul Atreides, establishes a formal union between the Fremen and the Atreides, with which he further unites the tribal Fremen people of Arrakis, and wages war against their common enemy, House Harkonnen, and eventually against the Imperial House Corrino itself.
		In fact, the House Troopers gained such a reputation in the time before the move to Arrakis, that it was said their fighting level approached within a hairs width of that of the Imperial Sardaukar.
		Lastly, the alliance with House Corrino (and ammunition, equipment and transportation costs completely covered by House Harkonnen’s coffers) has allowed House Harkonnen to enjoy the benefit of a token amount of Sardaukar reinforcements in their infantry corps, since the movement of House Atreides to Arrakis.

		Herbert and Anderson conclude their trilogy (Dune: House Atreides; Dune: House Harkonnen) chronicling the years leading up to the events portrayed in the late Frank Herbert's Dune with a war for the liberation of the conquered planet Ix and the birth of a son to Duke Leto Atreides and his Bene Gesserit wife, Jessica.
		House Corrino proves to be a fitting ending to a what I would considered as a pretty nice trilogy of books that tell the tale of major events that could place before the original trilogy.
		Dune: House Corrino concludes the prequel trilogy of the epic Dune saga.

	Dune (series of novels)
		For those who never read the book, it's a space opera where a feudal "house", the House of Atreides, is exiled to a dry, sandy planet called "Arrakis", or "Dune", formerly a (very profitable due to a certain "spice") fief of a rival "house", the House of Harkonnen.
		It is used on location in the planets Arrakis and Caladan (current and previous fiefs of the House), and appears also in Paul's recurrent visions of a potential future arrakeen jihad made in his name.
		The Banner of House Harkonnen is orange according to p.233 of Dune Messiah; an "H" monogram is used to emblazon furniture (at least).

	House Corrino
		It is a bold and risky venture, for House Atreides has limited military resources and many ruthless enemies, including the sadistic Baron Harkonnen, despotic master of Dune.
		Meanwhile, Duke Leto's consort, the beautiful Lady Jessica, obeying the orders of her superiors in the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, has conceived a child that the Sisterhood intends to be the penultimate step in the creation of an all-powerful being.
		Jessica's act of disobedience is an act of love -- her attempt to provide her Duke with a male heir to House Atreides -- but an act that, when discovered, could kill both mother and baby.

		On the political level Dune is the tale of a political conflict between three noble houses--the House Atreides, the House Harkonnen and the House Corrino.
		Secondly, the House Atreides is in a position where it could potentially undermine the fundamental source of Corrino power: The Corrinos' power base is their military strength, their specially trained army--the " Sardaukar "--who per soldier are five to ten times better fighters than the military forces of the other noble houses.
		For centuries the House Harkonnen have been ancestral enemies of the Atreides, and so he uses the Harkonnen in his attempt to bring the Atreides down.

	dragonsworn [book review] - House Harkonnen, Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson
		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.

	: RevolutionSF - Dune: House Corrino : Review
		That said, there was a fairly major surprise in House Corrino that did catch me unawares, but that level of excitement was not sustained throughout the book.
		House Corrino focuses primarily on the emperor Shaddam IV and less so on his far-too-clever henchman Count Fenring.
		In House Corrino, he could be out-thought by a reasonably fresh potato.

		Dune: House Harkonnen continues the unforgettable saga begun in Dune: House Harkonnen, as a vast array of rich and complex figures strive to shape a sprawling universe of mystery and madness, promise and wonder.
		Houses Atreides deals with not only the turmoil of sheltering the heirs of House Vernius, but with matters of the heart-complicated by the introduction of the young Bene Gesserit named Jessica.
		In House Corrino-which doesn't get too many pages on this one-Emperor Shaddam IV discovers the difficulties in having a Bene Gesserit wife who is secretly insuring that she bears him only daughters instead of the male heir he desires.

		House Corrino solidifies many of the plotlines leading up to Dune, including the circumstances surrounding the birth of Paul Atreides AKA Paul Muad’dib, the transfer of the planet Arrakis from the Harkonnens to the Atreides, and many of the underlying interpersonal conflicts.
		Meanwhile, the 100-generation genetic plot of the Bene Gesserit is about to reach culmination with the birth of Leto and Lady Jessica’s child, though not in the way they had planned.
		If House Corrino is any indication of their collaborative efforts and story-telling abilities, I eagerly await this new installation.
