Audible Editor Reviews
Why we think it's Essential: This full-cast recording of Dune succeeds
in every way the now-infamous movie version failed. The alien landscapes
emerge in your imagination, while the complex plot lines and complicated
relationships gain clarity. Through the talents of a marvelous voice
cast, which includes Scott Brick and Simon Vance, Dune sheds the daunting
burden of its epic richness - and becomes a powerful story of personal
conflict and heroism. Steve Feldberg
Publisher's Summary
Here is the novel that will be forever considered a triumph of the imagination.
Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul
Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Maud'dib. He
would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family and would
bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.
A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics,
Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the
basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.
Frank Herbert's death in 1986 was a tragic loss, yet the astounding
legacy of his visionary fiction will live forever.
