About this audiobook

Book Two in the stunning conclusion to Frank Herbert's worldwide bestselling Dune Chronicles

At the end of Frank Herbert's final novel, Chapterhouse: Dune, a ship carrying a crew of refugees escapes into the uncharted galaxy, fleeing from a terrifying, mysterious Enemy. The fugitives used genetic technology to revive key figures from Dune's past--including Paul Muad'Dib and Lady Jessica--to use their special talents to meet the challenges thrown at them.

Based directly on Frank Herbert's final outline, which lay hidden in two safe-deposit boxes for a decade, Sandworms of Dune will answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating for two decades: the origin of the Honored Matres, the tantalizing future of the planet Arrakis, the final revelation of the Kwisatz Haderach, and the resolution to the war between Man and Machine.

This breathtaking new novel in Frank Herbert's Dune series has enough surprises and plot twists to please even the most demanding reader.

I'll never understand why Scott Brick (the narrator) would feel compelled to give Liet Kynes a German accent. Like he even said "und" instead of "and." Jessica, for some reason, got a British-ish accent, and I say British-ish, because if he was actually going for a British accent, it was bad. The guy just sucks the immersion out of the room. His overall pretentious tone distracts away from the story. I get the impression he's proud of what he does, which really projects in the way he narrates. I hate it. The book itself was fantastic. What an awesome finale to an epic series. I love Frank Herbert's work, but Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson cultivate such Rich works together. Vivid descriptions really help to paint mental imagery. I'd have given the book itself five stars, but as far as audiobooks go, it only gets four from me, due to Scott Brick's narration for the aforementioned reasons.
