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.

Thank you Audible for making this book available.

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

Feels a bit like hard work in the beginning but develops well.
It's not Dune but then nothing is :)

Starts a little slow

From Frank Herbert I expect a fascinating story and this book delivers. I find it prompting questions and considerations that I might seldom or never spend much time on.

Sadly, the reader leaves quite a lot to be desired. The reading is very slow and dull. Only the quality of the story managed to keep me going. I wonder how much better this could be in the hands of a better reader.

Great story let down by mediocre reading

None of the characters were sufficiently well developed for me to feel any emotional interest in them. Story is an interesting idea but there was no pacing or drama. I’m a huge fan of the authors dune books (except god emperor) and some of his other works too but this falls well below his usual level. One to miss unless you want to waste 10 hours of your life.

More like purgatory than heaven

Dragged out and boring (in my opinion). The author has much better books, but this one isn't too great.

meh...
