Publisher's summary

“Characters are imbued with heroic voices, delivering colorful cadences that catch the ear. Scenes are masterfully undergirded by mounting tension and sinister manipulation. . . . [Scott] Brick turns in a rewarding performance.”—AudioFile on Dune: The Duke of Caladan

In Dune: The Heir of Caladan, the climactic novel in the Caladan trilogy by New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, we step into the shoes of Paul Atreides. A boy not yet a man in years, he is about to enter a world he could never have imagined.

The story that began with Duke Leto Atreides's rise to power, then continued with the consequences of Lady Jessica’s betrayal, will now conclude with Paul becoming the leader that he needs to be on the way to his pivotal role as Muad’Dib.

Any Dune fan will devour this tale of a legend coming into his own.

Featured Article: The Best Audiobooks for Fans of Dune


Ever since its publication in 1965, Frank Herbert's Dune has set the bar high for epic science fiction. In fact, Herbert's beloved novel is considered to be one the best sci-fi books of all time. Dune was the recipient of multiple awards, including the inaugural Nebula Award for best novel in 1966. And in October 2021, more than 50 years after the novel's initial release, fans of Dune are being treated to a film adaptation, directed by Denis Villeneuve.

Couldn’t wait to hear how the story progressed

I often dislike prequels after knowing what is going to come, but across these three books I couldn’t wait to hear how the story progressed and got to the Dune I read as a kid and so recently enjoyed the new cinematic undertaking. Loved it and am going to listen to more of the back story of this universe expanded by Brian Herbert.

Amazing!

A well done ending to the prequel for his father’s series Dune, tying the stories together! I want to say more but I recommend just reading/listening to the books. I can’t say enough!

I want to experience Dune again

I want to experience Dune again. This series loads up Dune like a shotgun cartridge ready to explode. It added meat to the storyline of why Duke Leto was so respected. It is a great addition to the tapestry of the Dune saga.

A nice prequel to fill in the story lines

I really like the extreme detail the authors bring to these stories. What will come next?

Another Great Addition To The Dune Universe

All around great addition with two caveats:
1.) Authors spent too much time rehashing/reviewing/retelling previous parts of the book; time that would have been better spent addressing:
2.) Despite leading directly into the events of the original Dune, the REASON(s) why Emperor Shadam betrayed his cousin, Duke Leto are even less clear than before. As I drew closer to the end of the story, I kept expecting something to happen that would clarify it, but alas, still no clear explanation, (or even a clear hint) as to why.
other than the above, I throughly enjoyed the book and recommend it to all Dune fans!

Answers Questions from Dune

I enjoyed this novel as it explained why did Jessica wait so long to have a daughter, why did the Atreides get Dune from the Harkonnens and some great insight into CHOAM as it has always been a mystery.

Another Great Work

It was the writings of Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson that turned me into a DUNE fanatic.

A great book in its own right, and an impressive chapter in an amazing series.

The development of story and character are brought to life in a riveting and enjoyable performance.

Great book and performance

Great final book in this three book series and leads up to the events of the first book wonderfully. Scott does his normal great performance but I think they want to re-edit this one near the end do believe I hear a belch a burb between lines maybe want to edit that out. I loved this series and this was a good ending.
