Summary

The epic, multimillion-selling science-fiction series continues! The second Dune installment explores new developments on the planet Arrakis, with its intricate social order and strange, threatening environment.

Dune Messiah picks up the story of the man known as Muad'Dib, heir to a power unimaginable, bringing to fruition an ambition of unparalleled scale: the centuries-old scheme to create a superbeing who reigns not in the heavens but among men.

But the question is: DO all paths of glory lead to the grave?

Not enough Scott Brick.

Where does Dune Messiah rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

In the middle

What did you like best about this story?

The gola

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

No

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Any additional comments?

Listeners beware as this recording lacks a gripping performance in my opinion. I felt rather cheated by Scott Brick's name appearing on the credits as he speaks for less than 10 minutes or so and just starts and finishes the recording.

A good story but as gripping as Frank's first in the series.

A necessary book executed without problem

This is a necessary book of this awesome saga. Not the most gripping story; not the most textured. Furthermore the production seems a little unsettled in placed. None the less a very good book though.

Mediocre

Some interesting ideas but should have ended after book one; which was great. Very confusing at times.

brilliant story, voice acting different from 1st

I'm very happy with the story, very engaging. I wish the voice acting was the same as the first book though. they went for a different approach in this one and I much preferred it before this change. still fantastic performance by them all.

Weaker than the first book...

Not as good as the first book either in performance or writing. Did you like that in the first book different characters had two different voices depending on if a chapter was made up entirely of characters they had a dedicated actor for? Then you'll love this where thanks to switching between three different narrators some characters have three different voices. Overall the story is a decent epilogue to the original novel but its a smaller, personal story and not as interesting as the original entry.

A classic

Very good, similar to the original.
A bit shorter than the first, good narration makes it come to life

a lot less epic

After multi strand vastness of the original, this continuation was narrower and less satisfying.

Duncan Idaho is a ledgend

Tbh very boring compared to the first book, some okay bits in it however the story was pretty flat throughout minus a few good bits around Duncan Idaho.

Good but dense

With all the made up names and words I'd have appreciated a bit slower pace but it's good nonetheless.
