		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.
		Assisting him with this plan are the twisted geneticists of the Bene Tleilaxu who have taken over the industrial planet of Ix, which had until recently belong to the House Vernius, close allies of Duke Leto.
		If House Corrino is any indication of their collaborative efforts and story-telling abilities, I eagerly await this new installation.

		He will free the Ixians from their oppressive conquerors and restore his friend Prince Rhombur, injured scion of the disgraced House Vernius, to his rightful place as Ixian ruler.
		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.

	Science Fiction Book Reviews
		House Atreides, having earlier suffered a number of setbacks at the hands of both House Harkonnen and the Emperor, now rise up resurgent.
		Despite the death of Duke Leto's first son, Victor, and much political treachery against them, the Atreides clan is finally able to mount a long-delayed attack on the planet Ix, to oust the usurping Tleilax and restore the rightful ruling house of Vernius, whose royal representatives have found refuge with the Atreides for two decades.
		The titling of these three books is, in a way, rather arbitrary, since all three royal houses (Corrino is the family name of the Emperor) share the stage equally in all volumes.

		Having said all that, this review is on Dune: House Harkonnen, written by Brian Herbert (son of Frank Herbert, author of the Dune Chronicles) and Kevin Anderson.
		Kailea Vernius, daughter of Dominic Vernius, the exiled Earl of Vernius, concubine to Leto Attreides, mother of Victor, she tries to manipulate Leto repeatedly.
		Unfortunately, when he does finally begin to think of those around him, it is too late, and he dies trying to do something for his wife, a woman he’d largely ignored for the 20 years of their marriage.

		Yet in House Atrides the authors have written a compelling, labyrinthine, skilfully imagined extension of the world Frank Herbert created, which ably commands the attention for almost 600 pages.

		There is some contention amongst these historians regarding House Vernius, which is apparently mentioned in the prelude to House Atreides as holding the fief of Ix until a little Imperial subterfuge brought an end to their reign.
		The question is then, would Vernius, some two thousand years in the past from the date of Paul Atreides birth, be in possession of the Ix fiefdom?

		On the one hand, the brevity of most of the sections was nice, because I could easily read a section or two or any and all opportunities.
		My general observation about the entire trilogy would be the closer the trilogy gets to the events of "Dune," the weaker the narrative; the converse would apply as well.
		I certainly enjoyed "House Atreides" the best of the three, but I think "House Harkonnen" and "House Corrino" are a toss-up down on the next level.
