Dune by the author

I loved hearing Frank read his own works. It makes me super happy to have Scott Brick narrate his series (he’s clearly listened to this). He didn’t use the Lynch Translations. I can’t recommend this enough.

In His Own Voice

I got this to hear excerpts of Herberts work in his own voice. This work provides that :-)

Narrated by Frank Herbert

It was wonderful to hear Frank Herbert read exerts from his books. If only he had narrated all his books.

Listen at 3/4 Speed!!

It’s a treat listening to passages from Dune novels read by the Author. This recording was made in the 1970s. Original run times of those LP/cassette are over four hours. All the content is there on this three hour download but somebody sped it up a bit making Mr. Herbert sound a bit too squeaky. Replay at 3/4 speed solves this but I sure would appreciate Audible engineers going back to ensure the integrity of this recording matches the original. Well worth a download regardless.

herbert is the best!

Wish he were still around to make more magic for all of us. I did like him narrating in his own voice.
