About this listen
Working from recently discovered files left by his father, Brian Herbert and best-selling novelist Kevin J. Anderson bring us Dune: House Atreides, the prequel, which captures all the complexity and grand themes of the original work while weaving a new tapestry of great passion and momentous destiny into a saga that expands the tale written by Frank Herbert more than 30 years ago.
It is the year 10,154 of the Imperial Calendar, and for four decades the planet Arrakis - called Dune by its inhabitants - has been ruled by the Harkonnen family. But the seeds of change have been sown. On Arrakis, an idealistic young planetologist, Pardot Kynes, goes out into the desert to learn the secrets of its giant sandworms and the priceless Spice they create. And on another planet, Caledon, young Leto Atreides is nearly ready to become duke. The blood feud between House Atreides and House Harkonnen is about to begin.
Drawing on notes, outlines and correspondence Frank Herbert left behind at his death, House Atreides is a breathtaking story of war, treachery, decadence and steadfastness in the face of overwhelming odds.

I initially struggled with this audible as I’m not a fan of the Narration or the narrator. I’ve really struggle over the years with American narrators. To me it’s flat with no noticeable difference in characters. Best American narrator to date has to be Will Wheaton.
Be careful listening to this book Scott Brick the perfect tone (not unlike white noise) to send you to sleep. So use that timer.
You can see where Frank Herbert was going with the story. Going to take a break from this series.
The epilogue was extremely interesting. It should the passion of Brian and Kevin to do this universe justice.
Great start to a prequel.
