About this listen

Heretics of Dune, the fifth installment in Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi series.

On Arrakis, now called Rakis, known to legend as Dune, 10 times 10 centuries have passed. The planet is becoming desert again. The Lost Ones are returning home from the far reaches of space. The great sandworms are dying, and the Bene Gesserit and the Bene Tleilax struggle to direct the future of Dune. The children of Dune's children awaken as from a dream, wielding the new power of a heresy called love.

This is a great story, well read. A great story with some very interesting ideas on human potential. Reading / listening again after roughly 20 years I do find the quotes at the beginning of each chapter and the pontificating an unfortunate distraction, and one you can’t skip past, unlike a written book. But overall a really enjoyable story.

Don’t listen to naysayers really enjoying the books looking forwarding the last instalment, a real rollercoaster. READ this book 20 years ago and still remember the story, lovely way to o revisit…

Gripping to the last

I really enjoyed this book - I never mind what others sometimes call the rambling philosophy and politics, I think they are part of what makes the Dune series great. Slow to start then lots of action. I did not like some of the language and emphasis on the erotic powers at play, for me that theme detracted from a great book with a facile, immature gratuitousness. Other than that, loved it.

Good gripping read, dated in some places

I absolutely love this chapter in the Dune universe. I found myself completely enthralled, and unable to stop listening.

Fantastic!!

This book is the most rock ‘n roll of the series! All these new badass characters getting involved and with love carrying the torch forward. The writing is so darn elegant, it just flows effortlessly without any friction. From here on is the sisterhood the focal point and that unveils more dynamics. Simon Vance’s characterization of Daria Odrade and Miles Teg made me fall in love with them as the great heretics they are.

My favorite!

Fish speakers taken to another level leaves it a R-rating, with the most detailed scene though being quite fun. At the same time quite a few descriptions felt odd and unnecessary. just something to be aware of.

Otherwise another good plot but as usual you get deep into the book and then realise its all going to be wrapped up really quickly. was as I as happy about that this time. probably not, needed a bit more.

but will see how the next book completes this on and the series. Charterhouse next, book 6.

5th book, but more like Dune in excitement

This part of Frank Herbert's Dune saga revolves around another Duncan and returning people from scattering. Bringing new adversaries and problems to over come.

Another Duncan.

The saga moves forward another 1.5k years and many things are both the same and different. Well read and well told.

Great performance, interesting story

In short
(the first trilogy)
Book 1: Excellent
Book 2: Great
Book 3: Good

(the second trilogy)
Book 4: Boring rumbling
Book 5: Good
Book 6: Mediocre (with the main theme that the strongest weapon in the GALAXY is between the woman leg... No joke)

Found it much better than God Emperor. More happens and the story develops mire interestingly.

Back to its best
