Story
A young, naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals—in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg—whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Featuring more than 160 all-new illustrations by Gary Gianni, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a must-have collection that proves chivalry isn’t dead—yet.

After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Audie Award winner, 2008
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE directed by Denis Villeneuve, starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Léa Seydoux, Stellan Skarsgård, and Charlotte Rampling
Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Muad'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.

Audie Award Winner, Science Fiction, 2008
Nebula Award winner, Best Novel, 1965
Hugo Award winner, Best Novel, 1966

Editorial Review
Discover the epic mystical adventure that is Dune. This fantasy and science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert has all the tropes and makings of a true classic in its genre. Frank Herbert’s Dune is mesmerizing and moving, full of adventure, wonder, heroism, and other worlds. The story follows the tale of the main character Paul Atreides of the house Atreides, and his mother, Lady Jessica, a member of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood. Taking place on imaginary desert planets such as Arrakis, home of the fremen and leader Stilgar, and Caladan, political drama and betrayal unfold as noble houses fight for rule of the known universe. Mix these big ideas with new worlds and dangers such as giant sandworms, melange ‘spice’ and an epic battle of Corrin, and you get the action and adventure of The Dune novels- some of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time.
Herbert writes excellent world-building, creating a complex and dynamic universe in which his many characters - who themselves are deep and rich - operate. He has been hailed as one of the greatest writers of the sci-fi genre, propelling the style into a new era of epics and mystery with Dune. The novel has sparked great fandoms, followings, and rave reviews, inspiring the 2021 Dune movie adaptation. The box office hit featuring Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner, Arrival). Former film adaptations include the 1984 version by David Lynch. The film Dune: Part Two is expected to be released in 2023 and recounts the story featured in the latter half of the original book.
This audiobook adaptation is a masterpiece narrated by an entire cast of voice actors, including Scott Brick, Orlagh Cassidy, Euan Morton, and Simon Vance. Along with their cast members, they bring to life the dramatic moments and critical scenes with this excellent narration. This adaptation even won an Audie award on its release for its standout narration performances. Get caught up in the wonder and magic of this mystical world, brought to life by the dynamic and clear voices of the cast, from the characters of Baron Harkonnen (of infamous House Harkonnen) to Duncan Idaho and Gaius Helen Mohiam. A true must-listen for any fantasy or science fiction fan, a cannot miss legendary book. The Dune series also includes prequels and sequels in Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, Hunters of Dune, Sandworms of Dune and various other titles from the Dune Universe.

Over engineered performance
I found that the background soundscape was more distracting than it was enlightning. I had also forgotten just how flowery Herbert's language was. the story is a classic of modern science fiction and should be listened to just for that reason but I found the dialogue a little hard to swallow at times.

Inconsistent narration and false advertising
Frank Herbert's Dune deserves 5 stars. The narration and voice acting deserves 5 stars. The way they change who is voicing which character throughout the book deserves 0 stars. The first part is fully voiced and compelling. Then you hit the second part and the change hits you like a slap across the face. I am incredibly disappointed with the decisions made during the production of this audiobook. It would have been less jarring to have a single narrator than the half attempt they made at "fully voiced."

Great story, inconsistent acting
It’s dune, the story is interesting, enthralling and well thought out. The voice acting is terribly inconsistent, there seems to be no rhythm on whether a chapter will be read solely by the narrator, or if the characters get their own voice actors, and the rhythm can change mid chapter. Very distracting
