This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age.

Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.

The Way is a tunnel through space and time that leads to other worlds, some more like planet Earth than Earth itself. It is perhaps the most formidable discovery in Thistledown and with it come disputes as to the nature of the Way and how it should be used. The Way can be reached only through Axis City, the only space station of Thistledown.

In this prequel to Eon, Greg Bear continues to explore the possibilities presented by the asteroid Thistledown, a remnant of a lost human civilization. The Way is a tunnel through space and time that leads to other worlds, some more like planet Earth than Earth itself. It is perhaps the most formidable discovery in Thistledown and with it come disputes as to the nature of the Way and how it should be used. The Way can be reached only through Axis City, the only space station of Thistledown.

Katsuk, a militant Native American student, has kidnapped 13-year-old David Marshall - the son of the US undersecretary of state. He and his young hostage flee into the deepest wilds of the Pacific Northwest, where they must work together to survive as teams of hunters try to track them. Even as he struggles to escape, David begins to feel a certain amount of respect for his captor. What the boy does not know, however, is that he has been chosen as an innocent from the white world for an ancient sacrifice of vengeance. And Katsuk may be divinely inspired - or simply insane.

Earth has become a library planet over the last several thousand years, a bastion of both useful and useless knowledge - esoterica of all types: History, science, politics - gathered by teams of "pack rats" who scour the galaxy for any scrap of information. Knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth, and knowledge can be a weapon. As powerful dictators come and go over the course of history, the cadre of dedicated librarians is sworn to obey the lawful government - and use their wits to protect the treasure trove of knowledge they have collected over the millennia.

Santaroga seemed to be nothing more than a prosperous farm community. But there was something...different...about Santaroga. Santaroga had no juvenile delinquency, or any crime at all. Outsiders found no house for sale or rent in this valley, and no one ever moved out. No one bought cigarettes in Santaroga. No cheese, wine, beer, or produce from outside the valley could be sold there. The list went on and on and grew stranger and stranger....

Great performance.
After I read God Emperor about five years ago, to me, it was one of the most engrossing book I had ever read.
This audiobook does the novel justice. Each of the voice actors match the mood and atmosphere nicely.
My one dislike I have with the audiobook, in my opinion, would have to be the woman narrator. She was great up until she did the voice of Leto. Having the male narrator do all the voices even the women kind of became stale. So allowing a lady to add a touch of feminism sure kept me listening. That being said, the male should have jumped in. Again that is my opinion.
I would definitely recommend this audio to all the fans of the dune novels for sure. Also, to individuals who may of had a hard time reading the novel.
And of course, to those who enjoy audiobooks in general.
My rating comes from my true opinions which I have just expressed.

Not as good as the others.
The performance was good and engaging but just could not make up for the books shortcomings. Overall the book was slow, had little action, overly focused on sex, and had a lot of screwed up philosophy.
It want all bad though. The closure it gives on Leto's story and his golden path is good and nice to have.

should be required reading at military whacademies
this book expecially, but this entire series is saturated with political and Military wisdom . it is as valuable to me in the philosophical sense, as it is being the most important science fiction epic ever written... in my humble opinion at least.
somebody could actually bass a religion around the ideas proposed in this book.

For the Most Part, Great to Listen to
I really loved Simon Vance, and most of the other voices. The characters, Leto, Moneo, and Duncan are done well, and to hear the book read really makes it easy to enjoy, right down to the layered philosophical arguments. I was able to enjoy Moneo and Leto's back-and-forth this time around, which I never really picked up on before, when I read the book years back.
What I didn't like were the readings of the Stolen Journals. Bleh. The tone seemed nasally, and the performance overcooked. Other than that I really enjoyed this book.

Not bad
The only thing I tired of was the narrator of the "stolen journals" preface to many chapters. Everything else is great!

Was Frank Herbert prophetic?
Any additional comments?
Herbert's abilities to analyze and predict human thoughts and actions in different kinds of government was amazing. It almost was freaky as to the commentary it made on our state of affairs and this was written years ago. Absolutely amazing!

good but not as good as the its predecessors
Leto offers many nuggets of wisdom but the Duncan's are annoying as is Seeonna (Atraities descendant) not alot of action. Good story over all though.
