It's constantly astounding to me how Herbert was able to write such timeless stories, especially with the way he chooses to write them (if you know how he likes to jump from book-to-book you may know what I mean). Five books in and he is able to keep building on the story of the first while constantly expanding the universe of Dune. I started off not being the biggest fan of how Herbert decided to tell this story. Heretics felt like it was bouncing all over the place, moving through different times and ages of characters, shifting in it's theme of humanity and time, but Frank was able to win me over. There is a lot going on in this book but somehow it becomes one of the most straightforward stories in the series with lasting consequences. Consequences that that I am looking forward to learning. This book does everything a sequel should and it does it well.

Amazing story. I don’t understand the people who recommend quitting after God Emperor because the last two books are really great too. Miles Teg and Odrade are awesome

I decided to go through these series when the movies came out so I could finnaly undeestand why these books are acclaimed. Frank Herbert has ceated a wonderfully vivide world wirh unique ideas, characters and on such a large scale. I am a fan of space operas for sure but I consider this a transcendent piece well worth anybodys time... and its a lot. Read all of Frank Herberts series, I am unsure on his sons stuff that follows because I am atill basking in the world Frank wrote.

What? What just happened? I literally just listened to 18+ hours of a book that I can barely remember. There were too many main or focused characters. Essentially, this storyline needs more Atreides and less what ever this was. And can we please get rid of Duncan Idaho? I think this is it for me, the Dune series stopped at the God Emperor.

very good book. plots within plots, as expected

My favorite Dune novel is Heretics. I've been reading Dune novels since 1995, over and over again. You guys did a great job on narration. All the different voices and accents seems to be exactly how Mr. Herbert would have imagined it. "Long live the Fighters"

This is a great book

Good book. Good narrator. He narrates better than the author does.

Frank could certainly spin a great tale.

Another great book.
