Publisher's summary

Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's Navigators of Dune is the climactic finale of the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, set 10,000 years before Frank Herbert's classic Dune.

The story line tells the origins of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood and its breeding program, the human-computer Mentats, and the Navigators (the Spacing Guild), as well as a crucial battle for the future of the human race, in which reason faces off against fanaticism. These events have far-reaching consequences that will set the stage for Dune, millennia later.

Featured Article: Here’s everything to expect in Dune: Part Two


Sci-fi fans everywhere were over the moon when it was announced that critically acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve would be directing a film adaptation of Dune, the classic science fiction novel by Frank Herbert. It was the third time Herbert's epic has been adapted for the screen, but it's the first time the story was split into two parts—opening up opportunities to further explore the iconic characters and imaginative world Herbert created.

A Must Read!

Absolutely loved this book! If you ever wondered about the Legend of Vorian Atreides, or the Harrkinans, this book provides the insight. Thank you Herbert and Anderson for this amazing piece of fiction.

How the universe of the original Dune came to be

I just finished listening to the entire expanded Dune series. Brian & Kevin created stories and characters in their 6 pre-quals that create the universe in Frank Herbert's 6 novels. This is an epic accomplishment. I enjoyed Scott Brick's solo narration (on most) and contributions on the rest.

I love the Dune Saga.

I know a lot of people don't like the nu-Dune Saga, but I've really enjoyed it. The prequel books do have a different play to them, but they are enjoyable. After listening to them and then Dune by Frank Herbert, it really comes alive.

one long audio file

is a good conclusion to the three books. Well written and read.

But, it comes as one 20-hour audio file. More than once I lost my place, by accidentally grabbing my phone wrong. Instead of losing my place in a chapter, I lost my place in the whole book. Once going back to the beginning of the book. and had to spend a long time, approximately, finding where I left off.

Would have been better, broken into chapters, like all the other books.

Science fiction capstone

The conclusion to this trilogy was a great end to this epic section of the mega saga that is Dune. If you love a huge, character driven story then this is for you. It is interesting to see both extreme factions come to blows in this book. In many cases I really did not know which side I was rooting for...sometimes neither and sometimes both. The performance makes you want to continue to listen for hours. I could not recommend this book more.

Another Brilliant Narrative!

Whether read as a standalone piece or as a continuation of the unending Dune saga, this compilation juxtapositions two competing philosophies to chart the trajectory of the human race. The anticipation of which players survive and which beliefs remain will captivate you with absolute certainty.
