Summary
Frank Herbert's bestselling science fiction series of all time continues! In this third installment, the sand-blasted world of Arrakis has become green, watered and fertile. Old Paul Atreides, who led the desert Fremen to political and religious domination of the galaxy, is gone. But for the children of Dune, the very blossoming of their land contains the seeds of its own destruction. The altered climate is destroying the giant sandworms, and this in turn is disastrous for the planet's economy. Leto and Ghanima, Paul Atreides's twin children and his heirs, can see possible solutions-but fanatics begin to challenge the rule of the all-powerful Atreides empire, and more than economic disaster threatens...

Excellent narration of a complex and compelling story.

Wow. I heard nothing but bad reviews about this book, I did not fully expect even to finish it. However, I have been surprised to enjoy this book the most so far. I anxiously await the story of the God Emperor.

Wonderful

I am so glad it was the same narrator as Dune Messiah!! I was never a book person. Let alone an audio book listener. The narrator has taken me on a journey that I never want to end. I will be looking up everything he has narrated and tick it off my bucket list one story at a time. A master of his craft. Extremely excited to continue the Dune saga along with my new favorite narrator.

loved this series

A well-conceived, well-constructed, well-executed work that often soars, but occasionally stumbles. Herbert pushes the series forward in grand fashion, and what he achieves can truly inspire amazement in the reader. Rich detail, new characters, and the progression of the story draw the reader in, and, along with many other indicators, hold his or her attention until the final pages.

The awesome thing about this book is that it was published way before its time. The thought, logic, means of understanding are spot on. Again this series has delivered a essential masterpiece. the only gripes I have with this is that the more we get into the series the more it's about a battle of intellectuals and out thinking the next person. Fighting have been replaced. We have killed off the main character in Paul and his sister and now the children will lead Arrakis. Essentially, the next series begins 3000 years after this....I'm optimistically hopeful the last three books will end outstandingly.

Interesting book. Felt the ending left some thing to be desired but good overall.

I need to listen to this more than once to fully grasp its intricacy. I enjoyed it very much.

Narrator's voice for female characters is so incredibly awful and annoying. In fact, pretty much all his "character" voices are terrible. Why can't he just read the story?

Profile Avatar Emily B. Oct 2019

This book is the story of Paul Atredes children. it starts out slow as the author is getting into the characters but ends up being a good, entertaining story. Got me threw work :D

Picture the scene - jostled right and left by fellow commuters in the morning rush on the Metro - my mind is soaring with the story - the commute disappointingly short... The narration is inciteful - intonation brings you into the characters as the plot unfolds. I have read this story in print, and while I do not particularly embrace the pseudo-religious claptrap - it is an integral part of the whole Dune experience. I get more each time I revisit this series.
