The Muad'Dib's jihad is in full swing. His warrior legions march from victory to victory. But beneath the joy of victory there are dangerous undercurrents. Paul, like nearly every great conqueror, has enemies - those who would betray him to steal the awesome power he commands. Paul himself begins to have doubts: Is the jihad getting out of his control? Has he created anarchy? Has he been betrayed by those he loves and trusts the most? And most of all, he wonders: Am I going mad?

Using deadly foamal bombs and newly developed vibration weapons, men like Joao Martinho and his coworkers fought to clear the green hell of the Mato Grosso. But somehow those areas that had been completely cleared were becoming reinfested, despite the impenetrable vibration barriers. And tales were coming out of the jungles - tales of insects mutated to incredible sizes, of creatures who seemed to be men but whose eyes gleamed with the chitinous sheen of insects....

Listen at 3/4 Speed!!
It’s a treat listening to passages from Dune novels read by the Author. This recording was made in the 1970s. Original run times of those LP/cassette are over four hours. All the content is there on this three hour download but somebody sped it up a bit making Mr. Herbert sound a bit too squeaky. Replay at 3/4 speed solves this but I sure would appreciate Audible engineers going back to ensure the integrity of this recording matches the original. Well worth a download regardless.

How Would You Say That?
The pronunciation of words like Sietch and Muad'Dib. The reader hears the words in each their own head the way they think these words they've never heard spoken should sound. Hearing how the author heard the words when he wrote them. That is the depth of insight this kind of record provides.

Dune Trilogy
Would you consider the audio edition of The Dune Audio Collection to be better than the print version?
No, but after having read the books, it is a real treat to listen to Frank Herbert retell the story of the Dune Trilogy although much is left out
What other book might you compare The Dune Audio Collection to and why?
I havent tried any other audio books just yet
Which character – as performed by Frank Herbert – was your favorite?
Paul
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No it's about 6 hours long
Any additional comments?
I would reccommend this purchase

Aimless and Convoluted
This audiobook is only for the most avid of Dune fans. It offers random passages from the Dune series read directly by the author Frank Herbert but, since each passage is essentially out of order and devoid of context, you will have to be intimately familiar with Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune. There is nothing offered here that is not already offered within the texts of the Dune series, so this is mere fan service who feel a compulsion towards completionism in their collection.

A Rare Insight
Here we get to delve a little into the mind of Frank Herbert and his ideas around parts of his opus, Dune. If you were ever curious what the man would sound like reading excerpts of his own work and commenting on it then look no further.

What a disappointment
Would you try another book from Frank Herbert and/or Frank Herbert?
For someone who has read or listened to all but 2 books in the Dune universe, I expected something more than a Reader's Digest introduction to Dune. The only saving grace was hearing Frank Herbert read selected passages - but so what. Very disappointing. The only saving grace is that I bought the book on sale rather than wasting a credit.
