Publisher's summary

Fifty-six hard years after the events of The Machine Crusade, after the death of Serena Butler, the bloodiest decades of the Jihad take place. The human worlds begin to hope that the end of the centuries-long conflict with the thinking machines is finally in sight.

Unfortunately, Omnius has one last, deadly card to play. In a last-ditch effort to destroy humankind, virulent plagues are let loose throughout the galaxy, decimating the populations of whole planets. The war that has lasted many lifetimes will be decided in the apocalyptic Battle of Corrin.

In the greatest battle of science fiction history, human and machine face off one last time....And on the desert planet of Arrakis, the legendary Fremen of Dune become the feared fighting force to be discovered by Paul Maud'Dib in Frank Herbert's classic, Dune.

Featured Article: The Best Audiobooks for Fans of Dune


Ever since its publication in 1965, Frank Herbert's Dune has set the bar high for epic science fiction. In fact, Herbert's beloved novel is considered to be one the best sci-fi books of all time. Dune was the recipient of multiple awards, including the inaugural Nebula Award for best novel in 1966. And in October 2021, more than 50 years after the novel's initial release, fans of Dune are being treated to a film adaptation, directed by Denis Villeneuve.

Why no chapters?!

This shockingly long book is split into just two segments, it makes for a very unpleasant listening experience. And the writing in this one got steadily worse. Are these guys paid per word?

So far the best of all the DUNE books

I am working my way through the prequels having also listened to the original Dune stories on here, and this was so far the best of them all…
Immersive, complex and paced it lays the ground the divide in the two central houses that would last for generations whilst completing the storyline of the thinking machine history and their thousand year rein…

Excellent reading throughout as one has come to expect from Scott Brick. I am already looking forward to the opportunity to listen to it all again, just not until after completing the series first…

Scott Brick ruins everything

Like a knife scraping a plate, listening to Scott Brick hurts one's teeth. That's the best thing I can say.

Not terrible

I don’t see why people think these are bad stories. Could they be better? Probably. I’m not complaining though bc it kept me entertained. On to the next one!

Not as bad as many say, an enjoyable foundation to early dune lore

I hope they can fix the division of this book, splitting it into two long chapters is frustrating for when I want to follow along with the printed book

Typo in Chapter Heading

I just wanted to give a heads up that the first chapter has a typo for the year. The year should be 108 not 69.
