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)

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...

An excellent audiobook from start to finish. Once you start listening you want to keep going. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and definitely recommend it to others.

The recording has several points where the audio skips, repeats over itself or is missing entirely for several seconds that harms the listening experience. These are infrequent however.

Overall the story does a good job of connecting some events in other books but does jump around a lot chronologically which makes it harder to follow

didn't finish this one I'll give you a heads up Paul can do nothing right, fremen ar just savages and religious nuts without a moral compass, the bene generation are alway right. the Corrino rule was better everything black and brown is debased and everything that isn't is regal and just better...no mater what they do kill cheat or they have there reasons that are justified. Boring and predictable.

Yet another book completely rubbishing he's father books
