Hunted throughout the galaxy by the Honored Matres, the Bene Gesserit clan fends off its attackers while attempting to morph a green world into the sand planet needed to harvest the sought-after spice. Thus begins the complicated finale in the Dune series. Longtime readers will fall right into step with the continuing saga while newcomers will be overwhelmed, particularly in this production: the complex names of technology, characters and groups challenges getting oriented. But the talented cast—Euan Morton, Katherine Kellgren, Scott Brick and Simon Vance—do yeoman's labor. Each reads from a different point of view, a move that could easily be confusing but for the superb direction. A Putnam hardcover. -

Now that the planet Arrakis (Dune) has been annihilated, the Bene Gesserit order turns its stronghold Chapterhouse into another desert world, and from this base, the sisterhood plans its moves against ruthless rivals. Drawing on a vast store of history and religion, the book is "so rich in this one area that others suffer and the narrative crawls,'' PW observed. -

This science fiction novel works exceptionally well as a full-cast recording. The smooth, professional voices of the four narrators reflect the diverse range of characters. The Bene Gesserit sisterhood is under siege by Honored Matres, a similar organization that is sweeping viciously across the galaxy like the Huns. Scott Brick easily delivers the story's unusual names and modulates his pace to ratchet up the tension. Simon Vance helps listeners conjure vivid mind pictures from Herbert's poetic descriptions. The most impressive thing about this production is the way all the performers make the foreign terms flow so smoothly. S.C.A.
