Children of Dune

De: Frank Herbert

Narrado por: Scott Brick, Simon Vance

The sand-blasted world of Arrakis has become green, watered, and fertile. Old Paul Atreides, who led the desert Fremen to political and religious domination of the galaxy, is gone. But for the children of Dune, the very blossoming of their land contains the seeds of its own destruction. The altered climate is destroying the giant sandworms, and this in turn is disastrous for the planet's economy. Leto and Ghanima, Paul Atreides's twin children and his heirs, can see possible solutions - but fanatics begin to challenge the rule of the all-powerful Atreides empire, and more than economic disaster threatens.Listen to more of our titles in the Dune series.©1976 Frank Herbert (P)2008 Macmillan Audio

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Ranging from palace intrigue and desert chases to religious speculation and confrontations with the supreme intelligence of the universe, there is something here for all science fiction fans." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A major event." ( Los Angeles Times)

I was suprised.

I was surprised to find this book to fit so well with the previous two. Even though you are following a new main character, I found the transition was natural and the story flowed very well.

Children of Dune

Fantastic! Thought provoking, excellent production of arguably one of the greatest. Science fiction stories ever told.

wow! what a ride

that was almost as good as the first. so happy to continue the story. to learn more about dune. I did not expect some of the incredible craziness. but damn was it good.

Incredible story! They just keep getting better!

I thought book 2 was the best! Then I read book 3! Absolutely incredible!

Great story

The third installment of one of my favorite science fiction series. This book continues the trend started in Dune Messiah of less action but more political and religious intrigue. A great continuation of the series and sets the stage for the second half of the series.

I loved the audio

The story was an unqualified classic. I loved it. My first time through. I wished they would have had multiple speakers for the dramatic effect but the main reader did a 5-star presentation so no criticism there.

Genius!

Frank Herbert is one of my favorite authors. This book, along with the entire six book series, is outstanding. Frank Herbert says more in one sentence than most authors say in a chapter. Highly intelligent and deep, this is a story worth reading and absorbing.

The story continues.

Complete attention grabbing story. The what if is thoroughly explained. Very good. I’m glad to know that rest of the storyline, especially Leto.

Those must've been some good drugs back then

Even without the living still suit and and marriage choices, this book gets more than a touch tippy. I think there is a good hour of the book that's just visions.

Intriguing dialogues.

I enjoyed the back and forth between characters just like in the earlier novels. The plots within plots are always interesting to consider.
