Hunters of Dune

By: Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Book One in the classic conclusion to Frank Herbert's worldwide bestselling Dune Chronicles

Hunters of Dune and the concluding volume, Sandworms of Dune, bring together the great story lines and beloved characters in Frank Herbert's classic Dune universe, ranging from the time of the Butlerian Jihad to the original Dune series and beyond. Based directly on Frank Herbert's final outline, which lay hidden in a safe-deposit box for a decade, these two volumes will finally answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating for two decades.

At the end of Chapterhouse: Dune--Frank Herbert's final novel--a ship carrying the ghola of Duncan Idaho, Sheeana (a young woman who can control sandworms), and a crew of various refugees escapes into the uncharted galaxy, fleeing from the monstrous Honored Matres, dark counterparts to the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood. The nearly invincible Honored Matres have swarmed into the known universe, driven from their home by a terrifying, mysterious Enemy.

As designed by the creative genius of Frank Herbert, the primary story of Hunters and Sandworms is the exotic odyssey of Duncan's no-ship as it is forced to elude the diabolical traps set by the ferocious, unknown Enemy. To strengthen their forces, the fugitives have used genetic technology from Scytale, the last Tleilaxu Master, to revive key figures from Dune's past—including Paul Muad'Dib and his beloved Chani, Lady Jessica, Stilgar, Thufir Hawat, and even Dr. Wellington Yueh. Each of these characters will use their special talents to meet the challenges thrown at them.

Failure is unthinkable--not only is their survival at stake, but they hold the fate of the entire human race in their hands.

Critic reviews

“Scott Brick's narration is as fresh on the twentieth disc as it is on the first. His focus is unwavering, and his pace never falters as he maintains his enthusiasm for the story and its characters.” —AudioFile magazine on Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, winner of the 2002 Audie Award for Best Science Fiction

The lost dialog of Dune

Although an interesting listen (I give it about 3.5 stars), I found Hunters of Dune to be more a description of what has occured than a re-enactment. I fealt removed rather than immersed in the story. For Dune fans, I expect it will be worth the listen. If you are new to Dune, this is not a good place to start. I miss dialog and interaction.

Yay for Scott Brick!

Another great read! A classic story with an amazing voice actor. Thank you and please keep it up!

Exceeded expectations

After finishing Chapterhouse Dune, I put down the Dune series for several months, nervous and skeptical that Brian and Kevin would let the story down. I can happily say that I thoroughly enjoyed Hunters. The narrative kept me wanting to hear more, and I am currently 2/3 the way through Sandworms of Dune and I am absolutely riveted. There are aspects of the story that at times feel

Redundant

Good story, I am invested in the Dune Universe, but the writing style….a lot repeating the same information…didn’t dig it, still a must for Dune fans

what a great follow up to chapterhouse!

I was hesitant to give this a go since it wasn't the original author, but I needed to know what happened after the events of the original series. it did not disappoint. just as epic and I cannot wait for the final conclusion to the story.
