In Dune: The Heir of Caladan, the climactic novel in the Caladan trilogy by New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, we step into the shoes of Paul Atreides. A boy not yet a man in years, he is about to enter a world he could never have imagined.

Any Dune fan will devour this tale of a legend coming into his own.

Couldn’t wait to hear how the story progressed

I often dislike prequels after knowing what is going to come, but across these three books I couldn’t wait to hear how the story progressed and got to the Dune I read as a kid and so recently enjoyed the new cinematic undertaking. Loved it and am going to listen to more of the back story of this universe expanded by Brian Herbert.

Amazing!

A well done ending to the prequel for his father’s series Dune, tying the stories together! I want to say more but I recommend just reading/listening to the books. I can’t say enough!

I want to experience Dune again

I want to experience Dune again. This series loads up Dune like a shotgun cartridge ready to explode. It added meat to the storyline of why Duke Leto was so respected. It is a great addition to the tapestry of the Dune saga.

Another Great Work

It was the writings of Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson that turned me into a DUNE fanatic.

Good story.

I like the caladan story.
Disliked that more back should devoted to the Tle-lox-su.

A great book in its own right, and an impressive chapter in an amazing series.

The development of story and character are brought to life in a riveting and enjoyable performance.

Answers Questions from Dune

I enjoyed this novel as it explained why did Jessica wait so long to have a daughter, why did the Atreides get Dune from the Harkonnens and some great insight into CHOAM as it has always been a mystery.

A nice prequel to fill in the story lines

I really like the extreme detail the authors bring to these stories. What will come next?

Another Great Addition To The Dune Universe

All around great addition with two caveats:
1.) Authors spent too much time rehashing/reviewing/retelling previous parts of the book; time that would have been better spent addressing:
2.) Despite leading directly into the events of the original Dune, the REASON(s) why Emperor Shadam betrayed his cousin, Duke Leto are even less clear than before. As I drew closer to the end of the story, I kept expecting something to happen that would clarify it, but alas, still no clear explanation, (or even a clear hint) as to why.
other than the above, I throughly enjoyed the book and recommend it to all Dune fans!

I’m fairly confident Scott Brick burps at this time stamp. I don’t want this removed. This isn’t a complaint. It’s wonderful.
