The Dune Red Plague grouping brings together the Red Plague novella (2016) with the three House novels: House Atreides (1999), House Harkonnen (2000), and House Corrino (2001). These books connect different eras of the expanded Dune timeline, linking the events of the Great Schools period to the generation immediately before the original novel.

The Red Plague novella itself was published alongside Navigators of Dune (2016) and provides a narrative bridge between eras. The House novels, which were among the first Dune expansions by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, tell the story of the political rivalries that set the stage for Frank Herbert’s Dune.
