Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Prelude to Dune series is a prequel trilogy to the popular Dune Chronicles by Frank Herbert. The trilogy was the first outing of Frank's son Brian Herbert and his writing partner Kevin J. Anderson.The trilogy consists of: Dune: House Atreides (1999) Dune: House Harkonnen (2000) Dune: House Corrino (2001)The series starts thirty-five years before the events of Dune and sets up the major reasons for the conflict between Houses Atreides, Harkonnen and Corrino, resulting in the events of Dune. The novels cover the events that raise Leto Atreides to power as Duke of House Atreides as well as Shaddam IV as Padishah Emperor, how both Gurney Halleck and Duncan Idaho came to serve the Atreides and hate the Harkonnens, and the events that led Kynes to Dune.The story sets up the tension between Duke Leto and Shaddam, despite personal like, the events set Duke Leto up as a much stronger and popular political leader in the Landsraad than Shaddam himself, creating part of the perceived threat that later creates common cause between Corrino and Harkonnen.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
Aristocrats Are Evil: Averted — the Atreides are almost always benevolent, and the Ecazi, Richese, and Vernius families are more or less good. Too bad Being Good Sucks.

Avenging the Villain: It's eventually revealed that Viscount Hundro Moritani is descended from the unnamed House that attacked Salusa Secundus with atomics, resulting in (most) of that House being wiped out in return and Kaitain becoming the new capital.

Anti-Villain: Hasimir Fenring is much more level-headed than Shaddam. He could possibly even be a good ruler, if he were the emperor. Also, most of the time in House Corrino we see him with the Tleilaxu Hidar Fen Ajidica, compared to whom he really seems like a good guy.
