Summary

The desert planet Arrakis, called Dune, has been destroyed. Now, the Bene Gesserit, heirs to Dune's power, have colonized a green world—and are tuning it into a desert, mile by scorched mile.

Chapterhouse Dune is the last book Frank Herbert wrote before his death: A stunning climax to the epic Dune legend that will live on forever.

Critic reviews

"Compelling...A worthy addition to this durable and deservedly popular series." (The New York Times)

All stars
Most relevant
The narrator of previous dune audio books in the series is good, but the ones that are new to this book are truly awful. They seem to feel the need to say everything with high energy which becomes truly grating very quickly.

I often find myself skipping forward just because I can bear to listen to a particular narrator any longer.

On top of that, no one has bothered to get the different narrators to be consistent with pronunciation of names which is very irritating.

Truly awful narrators

Decent enough story, but very dragging compared to the first 4 Dune books.
Good performance, although the different pronunciations of words and names by the different actors is EXTREMELY distracting

On my second play through. All good... Apart from one of the narrators mispronouncing a few words, it's annoying me more than I would've thought.

Good

I enjoyed this last instalment of the Dune books and am sorry there are no more. I really didn't want it to end. This, and the original Dune are by far the best two books in the series.
The story and sub plots are engaging and the characters interesting.
Ultimately there is an age old struggle between good and evil. The book ends with questions hanging in the air, and had the author lived there was scope for more. However, I can live with the ending, imagine the possible outcomes and didn't feel dissatisfied or cheated as I sometimes do. Get it, but listen to the series first.

Brilliant

great story. the only gripe i have on this audiobook is with the voice actors. they should have discussed the pronounciation of names prior to recording. eg some pronounce the c in scytail and some dont, which os annoying

good book, okay voices
