About this listen

Between the end of Frank Herbert's Dune and his next novel, Dune Messiah, lies a mystery: how a hero adored by a planet became a tyrant hated by a universe. 

Paul of Dune begins the story of those 12 fateful years and the wars of the jihad of Paul Muad'Dib. It is an epic of battle and betrayal; of love and idealism; of ambition and intrigue. Above all, it is the story of how Paul Atreides - who achieved absolute power when scarcely more than a boy - changes from an idealist into a dictator who is the prisoner of the bureaucrats and fanatics who surround him.

The story is brilliantly woven between two timelines to create a story that keeps you captivated from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this and highly recommend it.

Excellent

Some people don't rate these books as they were not written by Frank but I like them. great stories and I can't detect much of a change in writing style. Enjoy as part of this amazing universe.

I was instantly enthralled by these master story tellers. Their origins stories weave together imperceptibly with the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. This, like all the others stories was well written fast paced and enjoyable.

I've read Dune multiple times and was looking forward to listening to this book as it fills the gap between Dune and Dune Messiah. It was a huge disappointment. Not sure why there are so many 5* reviews. These don’t seem to be honest. I rarely do it but I skipped parts of the book just to finish it. Very quickly you get bored with the unrealistic stores, basic conversations and no longer have any interest in the characters. This is the last book by Kevin J Anderson, Brian Herbert I’ve purchased.

Just awful
