About this listen
Immortal aliens have observed Earth forcenturies, making full sensory movies of wars, natural disasters, and horrifichuman activities - all to relieve their endless boredom. When they finally becomejaded by ordinary, run-of-the-mill tragedies, they find ways to create theirown disasters, just to amuse themselves.
But interfering with human activities isforbidden, and the authorities have been known to check on these matters fromtime to time. However, by the time Investigator Kelexel arrives to investigate,the trouble has been going on for a long, long time - and things are reallygetting out of hand.
©2011 Frank Hebert (P)2014 Blackstone AudioThe story itself, is of it's time, but still interesting, The narration was my biggest dislike of this particular book. The Dune books can often be confusing as to who is actually talking (due to a mix of narration and cast production) but this was another level, not enough difference in character voices to make it easy to follow.. lose concentration for 10 seconds at a set of lights and you can easily not notice that the chapter is a new and you're listening to a totally different character, then having to rewind to catch up. If in a thoughtful / day-dreamy mood, do not listen to the book, you need to sit and put your concentration head on!!
A bit of a struggle!

It is the only Frank Herbert I have not been able to find in over 50 years of reading sci-fi/fantasy.
The story line is gripping, what is coming in each chapter is unguessable and the philosophy mind bending.
The cherry on the cake is the inimitable narrator, Scott Brick.
A gem
