Publisher's Summary

Book two in the stunning conclusion to Frank Herbert's worldwide best-selling Dune Chronicles

At the end of Frank Herbert's final novel, Chapterhouse: Dune, a ship carrying a crew of refugees escapes into the uncharted galaxy, fleeing from a terrifying, mysterious Enemy. The fugitives used genetic technology to revive key figures from Dune's past - including Paul Muad'Dib and Lady Jessica - to use their special talents to meet the challenges thrown at them.

Based directly on Frank Herbert's final outline, which lay hidden in two safe-deposit boxes for a decade, Sandworms of Dune will answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating for two decades: the origin of the Honored Matres, the tantalizing future of the planet Arrakis, the final revelation of the Kwisatz Haderach, and the resolution to the war between Man and Machine. This breathtaking new novel in Frank Herbert's Dune series has enough surprises and plot twists to please even the most demanding listener.

Great story, but narration kinda lacking.

started off ok, then at some point accents change and become inconsistent. other than that, it was enjoyable, but it definitely needed to written in Frank's style.

The final conclusion to 15000 yrs of events

WOW!
The set up for this last book and all the intricacies unfolding the plot are astounding!
The stress of the Mother Commander trying to unite humanity against the Enemy while managing the differences within the New Sisterhood.
The Tleilaxu race receives full Karma for their ways of life.
The Guild tries to maintain their superiority but conflict arises with their prestigious Navigators as the supply for Melange drastically falls.
The Enemy itself and their Facedancer underlings influencing all of society and performing the upmost sabotage.
The No Ship still trying to evade the Enemy all the while trying to raise their Gohla children to grow into and face their destiny's.
Every other book in this series has shown, humanity seems to repeat their cyclical ways of doom. As conflict comes to a raging head, the search and development for the final Kwisatz Haderach will determine the outcome of the fableled Karlizec.
Wild ride! I feel Brian Herbert and Kevin Aderson ended the series exceptionally well and did Frank Herbert proud.

Ending a bit disappointing

A not entirely satisfying ending to the Dune series. if this is really the golden path Herbert had in mind then I'm a more than a bit disappointed.

Great ending to the series

I really enjoyed this book and the series as a whole. Narration by Scott Brick was excellent throughout.

A Must Read for Fans of the Dune Saga

Both this book and its predecessor, Hunters of Dune sorely lack the intelligence and nuance of the original saga written by Frank Herbert. Still, this should not be taken as a dismissal of these works so much as a recognition of the genius of the original books. Both Sandworms of Dune and Hunters of Dune should both be seen as very honest effort to bring a much needed conclusion to the venerable Dune saga. Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson deliver this through an adequate narrative, which, the audiobook producers have in turn rendered convincingly and effectively. Honestly, it takes an intentional effort to nitpick the weak points of these books against the originals, so it's very possible to enjoy them for what they are. In my humble opinion, both expanded universe books are essential to go through for first time readers/listeners of the Dune saga.

It’s Herbert, just not Frank.

Mr. Brick, as always, narrates beautifully and gives life to an otherwise flat and poorly written book.
