About this listen

The desert planet Arrakis, called Dune, has been destroyed. Now, the Bene Gesserit, heirs to Dune's power, have colonized a green world—and are tuning it into a desert, mile by scorched mile.

Chapterhouse Dune is the last book Frank Herbert wrote before his death: A stunning climax to the epic Dune legend that will live on forever.

Critic reviews

"Compelling...A worthy addition to this durable and deservedly popular series." (The New York Times)

All stars

Dune was a magnificent book; but it pales in comparison with the final two books in the Frank Herbert timeline - Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse Dune.

These two books stand together and follow on one from the other. The story focuses around the struggle of the Bene Gesserit (post Dune), the race to establish a supply of melange and a new threat that has merged from the scattering.

The best part about these books is the ingenious social insight that Frank Herbert displayed as he explored principles of power, control, and minority rule. He teaches through the story also - principles of a supply and demand economy, different political and social structures, ecology....

The Saga could not have finished in a finer way. The Author's family should be very proud of this accomplishment because it is far more than a compelling story.

Compelling Socio-Political fantasy drama

The female narrator was really irritating with daft intonation, consistent wrong emphases and different name pronunciations to the wonderful main narrator of the other books.
The whole saga generally very enjoyable.
Thanks Frank!

Some long winded passages serving no great purpose but a great ending to the saga

I have all the books in this series and have had them for many years, if your in to sci-fi then you can't go wrong.
I must have read this book 10 or more times over the years and never get board of it.

a great read

Herbert can write some amazing fiction and this book has elements of that. unfortunately it is somewhat turgid in places and the pace is off. The end is rushed and really let's it down. Accents are mixed in effectiveness for me and can detract further from the enjoyment. Overall not the best Herbert experience.

Sluggish and the story jumps

too many readers with different voices and pronunciations ruined the experience for me- very annoying

spoiled by annoying switches between readers
