This collection spans his entire career from his earliest surviving works of childhood to stories completed shortly before his death. All tales include original music by HPLHS composer Troy Sterling Nies.

Good quality reading. Qualified.
The text of course exists independent of the reader though the two cannot be separated.
In this reading performance there is sympathy with the dense content, nuance. That is clear.
The reading performance is above adequate. The readers/speakers are skilled, use and inflect their voice with skill, demonstrate awareness of the different nature of voices within the character over time and within the character in respect of emphasis.
Some readers convey their character with excellence- Lucilla's discourse with the weak chinned Honoured Matre, and subsequent overplay is represented well. Odrade is poorly conveyed. She is the keystone of Herbert's written narrative image, love and deep respect of powerful womanhood. Odrade's handling of her sisters is signal, and Herbert's writing provides sufficient gap for the careful and attentive reader to begin to guess where odrade is located and what she will do 'next'.
My appreciation of the texts Herbert's Dune is here indicated. But Chapterhouse is the most revealing and by far the best. Th reading performance is 'par'. At times above but only rarely equals the text- where a professional reading can provide the listener a special and carefully nuanced interpretation, the present work is adequate. Not quite equal to Odrade's meal with Streggy.

Very hard to listen to with multiple narrators
I have found it very hard to listen to this book due to the constant changing narrators. They each pronounce key words differently and dramatise each character differently. I believe It would of been an easier listen if it were only 1 or 2 narrators at most like the last book.

.... I should have stopped at Children of Dune.
I had to really battle getting through these last 3 books. and for what I am unsure. Nothing in these books really did it for me. Really boring with little action. All his characters are so forgetable that you don't care what happens to then. Having to speed it up to get through it without falling asleep isn't a good sign. I will just stick to the ones by his son.. I actually like those ones. These last 3 are only for the hardcore Dune fans I guess who like crappy philosophy and minimum action.. At least the narrators are good, despite what they have to work with.

Tough one to listen to
I listen to Audible on my drive to work so I can't always give my full concentration to the book. When I finished this book I was upset that nothing had really happened. It was only once I went online to complain about it that I realised it had a rich yet subtle story.
Frank Herbert had a drawn out way of writing that can be hard to listen to, couple that with the monotonous voice acting (which isn't necessarily bad, it fits the tone and style). Unless you scored 'above average' in those listening comprehension tests in school, I wouldn't recommend listening to this one but maybe worth reading in a book form if you've come this far and want to see the Bene Gesserit deal with these no good Honored Matres.

wonderful writing.
A must read for any fan of good literature. The Political insights into Power and Government alone are worth the read.

Appaling example how to ruin a great book
of the hundreds of audiobooks I've listened, this is by far the worst. Three narrators for all the same characters, making magnanimous stoic figures in one scene to appear completely unhinged children showing tantrums in the next because of different narrator. Some dialogues between characters voiced exactly the same as their own train of thought making it impossible to understand what had been said out aloud and by whom, making it seem like a monologue without any sense.

i am very smart, i know what you are thinking
This book is just that, time and time again. "Aha! I have the perfect plan as long as no one realises" "I know their plan, are they stupid" etc etc.

A character's name changed periodically
this was a great conclusion to the Dune series, but did anyone listen back to it before publication? There was a character named "Sytail" (the correct name) whose name changed periodically to "Skytail" it seemed to be 2 particular readers who made this mistake. Otherwise an excellent performance.

A great continuation of the Duna Saga
Once again very high production on this Audiobook.
The story is left with so many threads dangling and being Frank Herbert's last book, we will never truly know where he intended on taking the story. I had stayed away from the next books as not being written by Frank Herbert (even though his son was involved in their writing) they feel like fan fiction.
but after going through this story again this time as an audiobook I will continue the story to 'Hunters of Dune' to see where the story goes.

another great addition to the dune saga
Another great contribution to the Dune universe. having multiple narrators wasn't bad in itself. The issue was when different narrators pronounced words differently. That was a little annoying. otherwise, a great listen!
