The Dune Audio Collection

By: Frank Herbert

Narrated by: Frank Herbert

Read by the author, this compilation of key excerpts from the brilliant Dune trilogy is melded with connective text written by Frank Herbert specifically for these recordings. It includes selections from Dune: The Banquet Scene, Sandworms of Dune, The Battles of Dune, and The Truths of Dune: Fear is the Mind Killer.

Dune by the author

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.

In His Own Voice

I got this to hear excerpts of Herberts work in his own voice. This work provides that :-)

Narrated by Frank Herbert

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

Listen at 3/4 Speed!!

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.

herbert is the best!

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