Sandworms of Dune

By: Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Book Two in the stunning conclusion to Frank Herbert's worldwide bestselling Dune Chronicles

At the end of Frank Herbert's final novel, Chapterhouse: Dune, a ship carrying a crew of refugees escapes into the uncharted galaxy, fleeing from a terrifying, mysterious Enemy. The fugitives used genetic technology to revive key figures from Dune's past--including Paul Muad'Dib and Lady Jessica--to use their special talents to meet the challenges thrown at them.

Based directly on Frank Herbert's final outline, which lay hidden in two safe-deposit boxes for a decade, Sandworms of Dune will answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating for two decades: the origin of the Honored Matres, the tantalizing future of the planet Arrakis, the final revelation of the Kwisatz Haderach, and the resolution to the war between Man and Machine.

This breathtaking new novel in Frank Herbert's Dune series has enough surprises and plot twists to please even the most demanding reader.

Critic reviews

“[A] sizzling update.” —Publishers Weekly on Hunters of Dune

“Dune addicts will happily devour Herbert and Anderson's spicy conclusion to their second prequel trilogy.” —Publishers Weekly on Dune: The Battle of Corrin

“The kind of intricate plotting and philosophical musings that would make the elder Herbert proud.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Dune: The Butlerian Jihad

A fitting Tribute

As a completely addicted Dunaholic, I believe that Frank Herbert would highly approve of each of the books that Brian and Kevin have provided we readers who started the journey years ago. Sandworms of Dune brings the grand saga to it's final conclusion. I am sad there will be no more Dune stories, but I'm happy to have had the opportunity to participate...

THIS BOOK WAS MARVELOUS!!! FROM BEGINNING TO END!

PLEASE...YOU GUYS HAVE TO WRITE ANOTHER AFTER THIS ONE ON DUNCAN IDAHO..SOMETHING LIKE DUNCAN IDAHO..THE EVERMIND... THAT WOULD BE SO DOPE..GREAT JOB FELLAS ON THIS BOOK!!

Great book. Bad audio editing.

Scott Brick does an amazing job as usual. However, unlike every book that has been released as of January 2021 that features Brick, this one needed to have a few people fired. Fully 30% of the chapters of the book had the final sentence run, without pause into the intro of the next chapter. It's incredibly disruptive and jarring to the story and experience.

As this was recorded 14 years ago the sound engineer, their boss, and QA are likely no longer working for Audibles production department, Audible should have a sound engineer go back and a few seconds pause between the numerous screw ups throughout the audio performance. Again, due to the sound engineer and editing process not the storyteller.

The Book of the Future

Best series ever. One would think it would never end. But what an endless ending.

An Okay Finale to a Great Saga

An uphill battle was upon Brian and Kevin to finish the Dune Saga. Despite having Deus Ex Machinas, plot holes, and many needed trimmings, this was still an okay ending that brought me closure on the saga of Dune. Only go through Hunters and Sandworms if you really want closure. Frank’s 6 Dune books are absolutely worth experiencing but the final 2 books of the saga were not anywhere near as compelling for me despite some good moments and good narration from Scott Brick. When it’s good, it’s hard to stop. When it’s meh or okay or not good, the story can feel like a drag with constant repeats of things we already know. And there’s still some technical oddities that happened as I listened to it.
