Publisher's summary

Book two in the stunning conclusion to Frank Herbert's worldwide best-selling 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 listener.

Enjoyable

I had not read any of Frank Herbert's novels but I had seen the Dune movies. I could understand the gist of what was going on in this book so I don't think first time listeners would have a problem just jumping in. I hate Scott Brick as a narrator and had they chosen someone else I would have given this book 5 stars. I have heard from hard core fans of the Dune saga that Frank Herbert's tyle of writing was much better than his son's so if you too are a huge fan of Frank I would not recommend listening to this one, might just disappoint you.

Great ending

What made the experience of listening to Sandworms of Dune the most enjoyable?

If you have made it this far in the series, you have enjoyed Herbert and Andersons writing; great ending to a great epic. I think Scott Brick brought it all to life whit his narration.

Meh

Not a great ending to the epic of Dune. But they did their best I guess.

anticlimactic

a bit of an anticlimactic ending for such an epic saga but it did tie all the loose ends up well.

Great conclusion blends the best of two generation

I really enjoyed this conclusion to both the original books by Frank Herbert and the new books by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

If you are about to read this book after finishing the original 6 books plus Hunters (as I did). Stop. Read the Butlerian Jihad trilogy first. I realized this was necessary about a charter or two into this book and stopped reading it. I went back and read the others and then came back to finish this book. It was definitely the right choice.

While Brian and Kevin's books certainly have a different style than the elder Hebert's books, they are great books to read in their own right and they blend beautifully with the original books.

If you've read Hunters, it may have left you wondering if the new books were worth pursuing. Now that I've read five of the new books, I'd definitely say yes.

This book ties the whole story arc together, unifying the forces behind the Butlerian Jihad with the legacies of the Atreides and the Bene Gesserit. The ending represents the best of all these books and I believe is consistent with Frank Hebert's original vision.

Scott Brick is exceptional as usual.

Great Ending

Awesome, and unfortunate end to the original series. But all good things must end, and the ending sequence at the end was perfect. The only thing I would of liked, is more to Leto 2 story line.

Uninspired

The characters just played their parts
Way too much God in the Box stuff. It got tedious.

narrator makes liet kynes, a fremen, sound like a german. he injects german pronunciations into liet kynes. it makes no sense.
