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.

Amazing story, the back quarter could have been further fleshed out but it was simply great.

Took a long time to essentially go no where in typical Herbet fashion.
Last 10 chapters are where the action happens. The rest is filler.

More of the same from the dune books.

Frank Herbert's 5th book in his Dune series continues taking his epic story in new directions. The first time I had read this book, I hinted at where he was taking the story, some of which happened in Chapter House Dune, however we will never know what true ending he had envisioned for his much beloved epic. While the story did get finished by his son and another writer that feels more like fan fiction that what Frank Herbert would have created. I try to think of this now as the penultimate book in the series.
The narration, is A1 and he conveys the many different characters in distinct and easily recognisable voices. Truly a talented voice actor.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that loves the Dune series.

A great continuation to an epic story!

The story of Dune never tapers out, but there are times its luster diminishes to an extend below the general mean of the saga. That might have been the cass with the previous two books, some argue, though honestly I believe not. Whether you hold the notion that the saga was losing speed or not, Heretics of Dune brings a masterful revival to the story. Enjoy with abandon!

A Masterful Revival

The character development and the complexity of the story. So many threads are developing simultaneously.

What a fantastic continuation of the Dune, universe of stories. Herbert writes beautifully to get you invested in the story and effortlessly keeps you engaged right to the last word.

After reading The God Emperor of Dune book which I thought was brilliant I did not expect this one to live up to it being this late in the series but Frank Herbert keeps on going building on the early books while creating a new story that never fails to intrigue and surprise! It helps to have a talented narrator too reading this book I cannot recommend it enough

Superb
