Summary

Between the end of Frank Herbert's Dune and his next novel, Dune Messiah, lies a mystery: how a hero adored by a planet became a tyrant hated by a universe. 

Paul of Dune begins the story of those 12 fateful years and the wars of the jihad of Paul Muad'Dib. It is an epic of battle and betrayal; of love and idealism; of ambition and intrigue. Above all, it is the story of how Paul Atreides - who achieved absolute power when scarcely more than a boy - changes from an idealist into a dictator who is the prisoner of the bureaucrats and fanatics who surround him.

Critic reviews

"Frank Herbert would surely be delighted and proud of this continuation of his vision.” (Dean Koontz)

The Genius of Herbert and Anderson Continues

I was instantly enthralled by these master story tellers. Their origins stories weave together imperceptibly with the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. This, like all the others stories was well written fast paced and enjoyable.

Excellent

The story is brilliantly woven between two timelines to create a story that keeps you captivated from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this and highly recommend it.

no depth, just exposition, repetition and recap

It's seriously boring, how can this be listened to after Dune 1, it's so bad, characters are uninteresting, no story depth, just stereotypes and sound bytes, it's embarrassing
