Hunters of Dune

By: Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Book One in the classic conclusion to Frank Herbert's worldwide bestselling Dune Chronicles

Hunters of Dune and the concluding volume, Sandworms of Dune, bring together the great story lines and beloved characters in Frank Herbert's classic Dune universe, ranging from the time of the Butlerian Jihad to the original Dune series and beyond. Based directly on Frank Herbert's final outline, which lay hidden in a safe-deposit box for a decade, these two volumes will finally answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating for two decades.

At the end of Chapterhouse: Dune--Frank Herbert's final novel--a ship carrying the ghola of Duncan Idaho, Sheeana (a young woman who can control sandworms), and a crew of various refugees escapes into the uncharted galaxy, fleeing from the monstrous Honored Matres, dark counterparts to the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood. The nearly invincible Honored Matres have swarmed into the known universe, driven from their home by a terrifying, mysterious Enemy.

As designed by the creative genius of Frank Herbert, the primary story of Hunters and Sandworms is the exotic odyssey of Duncan's no-ship as it is forced to elude the diabolical traps set by the ferocious, unknown Enemy. To strengthen their forces, the fugitives have used genetic technology from Scytale, the last Tleilaxu Master, to revive key figures from Dune's past—including Paul Muad'Dib and his beloved Chani, Lady Jessica, Stilgar, Thufir Hawat, and even Dr. Wellington Yueh. Each of these characters will use their special talents to meet the challenges thrown at them.

Failure is unthinkable--not only is their survival at stake, but they hold the fate of the entire human race in their hands.

Critic reviews

“Scott Brick's narration is as fresh on the twentieth disc as it is on the first. His focus is unwavering, and his pace never falters as he maintains his enthusiasm for the story and its characters.” —AudioFile magazine on Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, winner of the 2002 Audie Award for Best Science Fiction

7th Book in Original Dune series

Chapterhouse Dune left many unresolved ideas, relationships, and subplots. "Hunters" resolves many of these and develops thin areas of plot.

A great expansion

This is the book the Dune fans have been waiting for. With the mysterious end to the final Frank Herbert book, this book takes it in a direction surprising but in line with the Dune world.

Great book

I LOVEEEE MOBELLAS RULE AS MOTHER COMMANDER. DUNCAN, CHIONA AND THE CREW HAVE A FANTASTIC JOURNEY. THERE WAS ACTION... UNIVERSE BUILDING, DEEP MOMENTS OF GREAT THINKING ANDC PLOTS. A GREAT BUILD UP TO THE FINAL BOOK.

Excellent continuation

The answers we've been looking forward to. If you are a Dune fan and always wondered what happened, then this book will start tying all the strings in vast Dune universe together. I can't wait to listen to the final book.

Good Job On Dune 7!

a very good book, I highly recommend it, the new authors are very talented and true to the Duniverse
