Collected for the first time, these Dune novellas by bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson shine a light upon the darker corners of the Dune universe. Spanning space and time, Sands of Dune is essential listening for any fan of the series.

The world of Dune has shaped an entire generation of science fiction. From the sand blasted world of Arrakis, to the splendor of the imperial homeworld of Kaitain, readers and listeners have lived in a universe of treachery and wonder.

Now, these stories expand on the Dune universe, telling of the lost years of Gurney Halleck as he works with smugglers on Arrakis in a deadly gambit for revenge; inside the ranks of the Sardaukar as the child of a betrayed nobleman becomes one of the Emperor’s most ruthless fighters; a young firebrand Fremen woman, a guerrilla fighter against the ruthless Harkonnens, who will one day become Shadout Mapes.

Brilliant storytelling pulling back the layers of the centuries old blood feud between Harkonnens and Atreides! Great placement with that story at the end of the collection.

The story of the Shadout Mapes was also well places at the beginning to pull the reader into the collection.

Overall a masterpiece just like the canon!

The Futuristic Family Feuding that keeps Feuding! Love it!

Great finish! I was worried, but I’m Incredibly satisfied with how the two authors finished Frank Herbert’s series.

Satisfying

Not a bad set of tales, but better off read on paper. Narration (for some reason this time) was quite aggressive the whole time - even normal moments were yelled with passion. It just felt like an angry reading 😆

Probably won’t miss much

While a touch more compelling that the previous selection of short stories collected in "Tales of Dune", this work still struggles to find truly necessary detours in the Dune universe, and therefore ultimately falls a bit short of the mark. But then again, short stories are seldom as grand or interesting as larger books, especially in a series as remarkable as Dune (Whether it be Frank's originals or Brian and Kevin's expanded series). Therefore, a fairly lukewarm response should not be entirely unexpected. That said, this was not bad, and certainly had some great moments. Recommend only for hardcore Dune fans.

As for the performance, Scott Brick gives it his all and does a fine job here. Occasionally overdramatic, yes, but he plays it well and his passion is commendable, as always.

Solid, but plain.
