Resumen del Editor

With their usual skill, Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson have taken ideas left behind by Frank Herbert and filled them with living characters and a true sense of wonder. Where Paul of Dune picked up the saga directly after the events of Dune, The Winds of Dune begins after the events of Dune Messiah. Paul has walked off into the sand, blind, and is presumed dead.

Jessica and Gurney are on Caladan; Alia is trying to hold the Imperial government together with Duncan; Mohiam dead at the hands of Stilgar; Irulan imprisoned. Paul's former friend, Bronso of Ix, now seems to be leading opposition to the House of Atreides. Herbert and Anderson's newest book in this landmark series will concentrate on these characters as well the growing battle between Jessica, and her daughter, Alia.

Brian, Kevin and Scott are a good team.

The story like all the books is enthralling. Good to escape into this world for a little while. Sad part is I've read or heard all the books. Look forward the Navigator book coming soon.

More than expected, even for dune standards.

The characterization, story development, and callbacks more than exceeded my expectations. In these intermediary books between the main story, the goal is to give more details but this went far beyond simple characterization and details. Its a great book that expands the universe and gives us more stories about the characters we love.

Average

About average for the series. many missed opportunities for development and broadening of the plot. it didn't really get going until 2/3rds through.

Great book

Great book in the continuation of the Master saga; Interesting as more on Dune, IX, Lady Jessica and the Face Dancers are explain

Not exactly what I thought it was going to be.

I will say that I did finish listening to this book but it is probably my least favorite of all the books so far. Awesome narrator, don't think I could listen to a Dune book not read by Scott Brick, he is the voice of Arrakis.

3 hour long tracks

I don’t get why any audiobook is divided as such. It makes is difficult to find you place or scrub through

Dune needs a new narrator or Simon Vance

Please stop with using Scott Brick as the only narrator, he’s okay when with others, but he is just too drawn out, and dramatic on his own, and sometimes too similar sounding with his characters. I wish all the expanded novels were narrated by Simon Vance…..

good, but with reservations

I have listened to most of the other Dune books and I have enjoyed them immensely. I bought this book hoping it would be just as good., but was a little disappointed. It still was a good book, but it seemed a little contrived. I felt this book tried to fill in some of the history that was left to the readers imagination. It changed my conception of Paul Atreides from being a horrible despot to a do-gooder just stuck in a bad situation. The fun of reading is to use your imagination and I felt my own interpretation of what happened was more realistic than this book portrays. The book still had all the excitement and adventure of the other books and I did enjoy it.

A must read

I enjoyed reading this book and it companion book because it provided a detailed background about the life of Paul. While both books revealed
details about *Dune” and “Dune Messiah” not enough to spoil the listen. I started listening at the very beginning with jihad war against the machines and so far very, very pleased with the books

Brian and Kevin have done Frank proud

After Frank started the epic journey Brian and Kevin finish it all with an incredible body of Dune works. Bravo to Scott Brick as well.
