"World Building at its Finest"
Narrator is awesome using multiple accents and tones for the various characters and situations. The story was fun and it transported me to the Dune Universe. If you like Sci-Fi stories and worlds then this is great!
"Great Story!"
I absolutely loved this story! Great naration! Explains so much! I highly recommend this audio book!
"amazing beginning to a fantastic story"
awsome story definitely needs to b made into a movie. the only thing is the three books would b as long or longer than Lord of The rings and requiring much more CGI making it a star wars size undertaking but it is a story which i feel needs to be told. The story displays many good values as well as how evil values can be misrepresented to be good, the eternal struggle of man and machine, man vs man, man vs nature and how the sand paper of time rubs everyone a little differently. some things in this book are or would b completely new to the big screen and could inspire a new generation into new technology and creativity. It could touch our lives like star wars but be something completely original which is something the big screen need now a days.
"A powerful start/prequel to an epic series"
The narration on this is spot on. The story is a great introduction to an epic period within the Dune Saga that grabs your attention from the get-go. The steady flow and incorporation of elements and reference from the entire Dune Universe helps fill in implied gaps. Definitely recommend this prequel trilogy for listening.
"I was a skeptic"
I love frank Herbert's books. This is the first I have tried from Herbert\anderson. I believe they did a great job telling stories in the Dune universe. They are not as philosophical as the originals but have very interesting characters and stories. I will use my credits to complete the series.
"A must read for any sci fi fan"
A fantastic audio performance paired with a gripping story that keeps you enthralled until the end
"pretty good"
I liked the story but I thought too much of it was taken up by meaningless arguments and characters in a rush to explain everything about the dune universes origins. the reading was done very well
"An Appetizer"
Mostly provides some historical context to the series. Not a huge fan of the performance though couldn't decide if it was limited by the material somewhat.
