About this listen

Continuing the events leading up to Frank Herbert's immortal Dune saga, the exciting conclusion to this trilogy finds the cruel Tleilaxu overlords on Ix manufacturing a synthetic form of amal to supplant the spice from Dune. If amal is accepted, Emperor Shaddam IV will gain absolute power. But if the plot of the Imperial House Corrino succeeds, the result may be the end of civilization itself.

Critic reviews

"[A] fully satisfying conclusion (after Dune: House Atreides and Dune: House Harkonnen) to the authors' "House" trilogy....The inevitable derivative features aside, this is a good, steady, enjoyable tale, and readers who haven't read the first two books can easily follow the plot." ( Publishers Weekly)
"[T]his complex and compelling tale of dynastic intrigue and high drama adds a significant chapter to the classic Dune saga. Highly recommended." ( Library Journal)

Wonderful

I always love Scott Brick's performances with the Dune series, and this one is animated and a pleasure to listen to. He seems to know the characters so well by now, it comes effortlessly. I only hope he isn't tired of it!

I burned through this final novel of the House Trilogy in a week or less. It was engaging and a great precursor to restarting the full original Dune series. I can't wait to go through Paul of Dune and Winds of Dune before the very first Dune novel.

I am grateful for these side novels to fill in the rest of the story, even if they're not from Frank Herbert himself. If anyone is qualified for the side material, I believe Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson are the ones.
Definitely check out the forums on the Dune website for a complete list of reading order for all extra Dune material!

poor narration

It really makes me sad that the narration in this book really ruined one of my favorite series of all time. The narrator sounds bored and makes the most interesting portions of the book a snoozefest with monotone disinterest. Severely disappointed.

moments

It is a good series of books, but there are points in this book and a couple of others that the characters are just evil to be stupidly evil. there are other times that events unfold a way that seem like the authors were like this has to occur even though there is abcd that would make it not occur.
the reader of the book is wonderful!

excellent trilogy

I loved this book, I thought the whole trilogy of houses was brilliant! The backstory of the great houses of the imperium is a must read!

I didn't think they could do it.

I've never read Dune so I had no high expectations for these authors to stay true to its original authors storyline. I can't compare the two or judge them for what they did or didn't do. All I know is that I couldn't put this down. I listened to all three almost 75. hours worth of recording by an amazing narrator. I've never read Sci fiction before and I wanted to start with something classic and amazing. A new world built . I can't believe they finished in three books and it rapped up well. It didn't feel rushed at all. I'm ready to jump right into Dune but I'm hesitate because I know it will be the end of it all. But if I continue the Dune series by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson the large world of Dune will have developed so much in my mind that i ll be ready to see it go.

Best in the Trilogy!!!

Great story in the Herbert tradition. Spans the gap before the original Dune. Worth the listen.

Not a knockoff

this is a cleverly written adjunct to the classic sci fi thriller. Ieajoyed the introduction of concepts which would dramatically influence the Dune Universe, and then in a natural course, to eliminate them as a possibility. I plan to follow up by rereading the Original, and I feel like I have a better grounding in the history of these characters

A good conclusion to the series

What made the experience of listening to Dune: House Corrino the most enjoyable?

As with the others in this series, the main draw is getting the orgins of your favorite characters from the original series.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dune: House Corrino?

I just like seeing more of the baron. He is the best character in the entire series.

Which scene was your favorite?

No one scene comes toi mind. It is just a good overall experience.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not really.

Any additional comments?

This is a fun book and is great for fans of the original series. If you haven't read the original series. Stop what you are doing, buy them and call in sick for work until you have read them all. This series and book stand well on their own and would be a good read for those new to the Dune universe.

More Dune? YES PLEASE!

Would you consider the audio edition of Dune: House Corrino to be better than the print version?

I think Scott Brick has done such an amazing job with the narration of Dune. When I read the regular books now, its in his voice.

What did you like best about this story?

More details and back story about the characters and what led up to the original Dune series.

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He just seems to "know" the characters.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes the losses on Ix were sad.
