With their usual skill, Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson have taken ideas left behind by Frank Herbert and filled them with living characters and a true sense of wonder. Where Paul of Dune picked up the saga directly after the events of Dune, The Winds of Dune begins after the events of Dune Messiah. Paul has walked off into the sand, blind, and is presumed dead.

Jessica and Gurney are on Caladan; Alia is trying to hold the Imperial government together with Duncan; Mohiam dead at the hands of Stilgar; Irulan imprisoned. Paul's former friend, Bronso of Ix, now seems to be leading opposition to the House of Atreides. Herbert and Anderson's newest book in this landmark series will concentrate on these characters as well the growing battle between Jessica, and her daughter, Alia.

Featured Article: Dune (2021)—Book vs. Movie


The very first book to win the Nebula Award, Frank Herbert's Dune has long been a fixture of the sci-fi world. It's no surprise, then, that yet another filmmaker has taken a stab at bringing this classic to the screen. The latest effort, by Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve, captures the first half of the epic novel. The reviews have been generally positive, with critics and audiences blown away by the scale and sheer ambition of the adaptation. Overall, Villeneuve's 2021 adaptation of Herbert's sci-fi classic is quite faithful. But in what small ways does the film differ from the book?

The story like all the books is enthralling. Good to escape into this world for a little while. Sad part is I've read or heard all the books. Look forward the Navigator book coming soon.

Brian, Kevin and Scott are a good team.

The characterization, story development, and callbacks more than exceeded my expectations. In these intermediary books between the main story, the goal is to give more details but this went far beyond simple characterization and details. Its a great book that expands the universe and gives us more stories about the characters we love.

More than expected, even for dune standards.

About average for the series. many missed opportunities for development and broadening of the plot. it didn't really get going until 2/3rds through.

I will say that I did finish listening to this book but it is probably my least favorite of all the books so far. Awesome narrator, don't think I could listen to a Dune book not read by Scott Brick, he is the voice of Arrakis.

Not exactly what I thought it was going to be.

Excellent it was very good both content and depth and performance I enjoyed it very much.

Breadth

Please stop with using Scott Brick as the only narrator, he’s okay when with others, but he is just too drawn out, and dramatic on his own, and sometimes too similar sounding with his characters. I wish all the expanded novels were narrated by Simon Vance…..

Dune needs a new narrator or Simon Vance

A prequel and a sequel to Dune Messiah this fully fleshes out Bronso of Ix. I enjoyed the entire book. Frank and Kevin tell a damn good Dune story.
