Duke Leto Atreides is now the skilful and much-loved ruler of Caladan, served by loyal Duncan Idaho. To his court come Gurney Halleck, despised slave of the Harkonnens - and Jessica, the exquisite, perfectly trained concubine chosen by the Reverend Mothers of the Bene Gesserit to be the mother of Leto's daughter. Meanwhile, on Dune - planet Arrakis - House Harkonnen ruthlessly harvests the precious, mind-enhancing drug called spice. And Baron Vladimir is slowly being consumed by a loathesome disease. Rabban Harkonnen - House Atreides' most implacable enemy - prepares to take over his uncle's empire.

Tout n'est pas parfait dans ce deuxième volume du “Prélude à Dune”. Les aventures de Duncan Idaho ne sont pas passionnantes, et celles de Gurney Halleck ressemblent beaucoup trop à celles de Duncan Idaho dans le première volume pour qu'on s'y intéresse vraiment. Mais il y a aussi dans ce roman des éléments qui m'ont bien plu. A nouveau, on est loin de la profondeur et de la richesse du cycle original de Frank Herbert, mais ce prélude reste un complément différent mais divertissant. Je vais désormais m'attaquer au troisième volume.
