About this listen

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

Paul Atreides is the man who overthrew a corrupt empire and then launched a terrible jihad across the galaxy, shedding the blood of trillions. The now-hated tyrant, the blind Emperor Paul Muad'Dib, has walked off into the endless desert of the planet Arrakis, known as Dune, leaving his turbulent empire without guidance. It's up to his mother, Jessica, with her daughter, Alia, the brave troubadour-warrior Gurney Halleck, the resurrected Duncan Idaho, the Fremen leader Stilgar, as well as Paul's wife-in-name and biographer, Princess Irulan, to try to hold an empire together even as it tears itself apart from within and without.

Critic reviews

"This satisfying tale from Herbert’s son and Anderson follows Jessica, the mother of galactic emperor Paul Atreides.... Fans of the original Dune series will love seeing familiar characters and the narrative voice smoothly evokes the elder Herbert’s style." (Publishers Weekly)

The story isn't as brilliant as other books in the entire Dune series. The only complaint I have is that I think they need to redited it as at times the recording skips and jumps at times. I have notice this in other audiobooks.

I love all the Brian Herbert & Kevin Anderson books. They fill in all the gaps left out by Frank Herbert's Dune. I still believe that these authors are better story tellers than Frank Herbert...

Overall I love all dune books and this was no exception except for the recording quality which was poor insome places missing script as though it was on a scratched CD
