Anos antes de Paul Atreides tornar-se o profeta Muad''Dib, os acontecimentos desta nova trilogia expandem a história de personagens conhecidas do universo de Duna. Com Leto Atreides, Vladimir Harkonnen e Shaddam Corrino, descubra mais facetas das três principais famílias do Imperium. Quando o duque Paulus Atreides decide enviar Leto para longe de casa, em Caladan, o jovem herdeiro tem muito a aprender em uma potência como o planeta Ix. Ali, um longo período formativo aguarda o rapaz para que ele compreenda os aspectos administrativos de um mundo voltado para a inovação tecnológica, sem perder de vista o histórico de lealdade e honra imaculada que marca o passado de sua nobre família. Ao mesmo tempo, um mosaico de personagens se desvela a partir da complexa rede que é o jogo político interestelar. Em Giedi Primo, o barão Vladimir Harkonnen se vê diante de sérios desafios quanto ao controle da produção da especiaria mélange; em Kaitain, o príncipe Shaddam Corrino IV assiste à decrepitude do velho pai que ameaça o trono, enquanto Hasimir Fenring trama as próprias manobras políticas para manter a confiança da Casa Imperial; em Arrakis, o planetólogo Pardot Kynes crê haver uma forma de tornar autossustentável a ecologia do planeta — e talvez os misteriosos fremen guardem as respostas de que ele precisa. Mais do que uma história que antecede o grande épico de Frank Herbert, Duna: Casa Atreides expande o universo de Duna e oferece aos leitores uma visão aprofundada e fascinante dos confrontos entre as Grandes Casas da saga. "Leitores familiarizados com a série terão o prazer de reencontrar velhos amigos." — The New York Times

In the penultimate issue of the final prequel to Dune, Ix isn’t the only planet under siege, as militaries clash, plans crumble, leaders fall, and tainted Spice wreaks havoc. It all comes to a head as Lady Jessica goes into labor with her child of manufactured fate, and Arrakis hangs in the balance with the Empire on its doorstep–the pregnant pause before potential annihilation.

Das große Finale der Graphic Novel Adaption von »Dune«, dem genredefinierenden Science-Fiction-Klassiker von Frank Herbert. Paul Atreides hat seine Rolle als Anführer der Fremen akzeptiert, aber er kennt die Gefahren, die das mit sich bringt: Entweder, sie erobern ihren Heimatplaneten Arrakis von den Harkonnen zurück, oder sein Verlust entfesselt einen Heiligen Krieg, der die Galaxis verschlingen wird. Lady Jessica ist zur Ehrwürdigen Mutter der Bene Gesserit aufgestiegen, aber sie hat Schwierigkeiten, ihren Wunsch, Paul zu unterstützen, mit den Erwartungen ihres Ordens in Einklang zu bringen. Derweil hat Baron Harkonnen die Ausbildung seines Neffen so gut wie abgeschlossen und wird den skrupellosen Feyd-Rautha schon bald als Herrscher über den Wüstenplaneten einsetzen. Ein alles entscheidender Showdown, der nicht nur Arrakis für immer verändern wird, steht kurz bevor! »Dune« erzählt die Geschichte von Paul Atreides und seiner Familie, die auf dem Wüstenplaneten Arrakis die Vorherrschaft über die Förderung des Spice übernehmen, der mystischen Droge, die das Reisen zwischen den Sternen ermöglicht. Frank Herbert revolutionierte mit »Dune« und seiner einzigartigen Mischung aus Abenteuer, Mystizismus, Ökologie und politischem Ränkespiel das Science-Fiction-Genre. Gemeinsam mit Bestseller-Autor Kevin J. Anderson adaptiert sein Sohn Brian Herbert das Meisterwerk in drei Bänden als Graphic Novel, um eine neue Generation von Lesern zu begeistern. Mit Raúl Allén zeichnet einer der profiliertesten Künstler der Comic-Szene für die graphische Umsetzung der Vision Herbert Verantwortung, und die Cover-Illustrationen von Legende Bill Sienkiewicz heben das Projekt endgültig auf ein Niveau, das Exzellenz verspricht.

Wir dürfen nicht vergessen, dass ein weit gefährlicherer Feind auf dem Weg zu uns ist Die Geehrten Matres, ein Konkurrenzorden der Bene Gesserit, kehren aus der Diaspora zurück und überziehen die Planeten des Alten Imperiums mit Tod und Vernichtung. So wird auch Rakis, der Wüstenplanet, in einen Schlackehaufen verwandel und die sagenumwobenen Sandwürmer gnadenlos eingeäschert. Damit ist die einzige Quelle des Gewürzes versiegt und das Imperium vernichtet. Während die Matres versuchen, mittels Gholas verschüttetes Wissen der Vergangenheit nutzbar zu machen, setzen die Bene Gesserit alles daran, mit ihrem Zuchtprogramm die Heroen des Imperiums wiederzubeleben. Einzig Murbella, eine ehemalige Mater, bemüht sich, beide Frauenorden zu vereinen, denn sie ahnt, dass die Rückkehr der Matres nicht freiwillig geschah: Sie sind in der Diaspora auf einen furchtbaren Gegner gestoßen, der jenseits der Grenzen des Imperiums lauert und sich anschickt, die Menschheit auszulöschen ...
