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.

I loved hearing Frank read his own works. It makes me super happy to have Scott Brick narrate his series (he’s clearly listened to this). He didn’t use the Lynch Translations. I can’t recommend this enough.

It was wonderful to hear Frank Herbert read exerts from his books. If only he had narrated all his books.

It’s a treat listening to passages from Dune novels read by the Author. This recording was made in the 1970s. Original run times of those LP/cassette are over four hours. All the content is there on this three hour download but somebody sped it up a bit making Mr. Herbert sound a bit too squeaky. Replay at 3/4 speed solves this but I sure would appreciate Audible engineers going back to ensure the integrity of this recording matches the original. Well worth a download regardless.

Listen at 3/4 Speed!!

To hear Herbert speak the words of Dune. To know how those words are pronounced.

Here we get to delve a little into the mind of Frank Herbert and his ideas around parts of his opus, Dune. If you were ever curious what the man would sound like reading excerpts of his own work and commenting on it then look no further.

It took me a long while to go through this audio as I had just read Dune. You will definitely find spoilers if you are considering reading the entire Dune book collection. If not, listen on, and make sure to listen to the last part and second to last part. Both are exceptionally insightful into the psychology and mythology of Frank Herbert's Dune.

Wish he were still around to make more magic for all of us. I did like him narrating in his own voice.

herbert is the best!

highly recommended. Herbert writes with powerful prose. His voice brings it to life all the more.

incredible

The audio quality isn't great, but serviceable. What's good is hearing Frank Herbert read sections from Dune and offer some commentary. If you want to pronounce the names and places -- Leto, Chani, Atreides, and more, as Herbert does, this is the best source.
