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?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 283
On a cold spring night in 1952, a huge meteorite fell to earth and obliterated much of the East Coast of the US, including Washington, DC. The ensuing climate cataclysm will soon render the Earth inhospitable for humanity, as the last such meteorite did for the dinosaurs. This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort to colonize space and requires a much-larger share of humanity to take part in the process. Elma York’s drive to become the first lady astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions of society may not stand a chance against her.

Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are unquestionably two of the greatest epic masterpieces in Western literature. Though more than 2,700 years old, their stories of brave heroics, capricious gods, and towering human emotions are vividly timeless. The Iliad can justly be called the world’s greatest war epic. The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns. The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and adventures Odysseus must pass through on his long journey home from the Trojan wars to his beloved wife.

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

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.

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.

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.

Read by the man himself.
The only downside is they are not in order. But hearing how and what Herbert wanted to record is great. I have the feeling that the dinner chapter in DUNE was very important.
