Summary

Fearful of losing his precarious hold on the Golden Lion Throne, Shaddam IV, emperor of a Million Worlds, has devised a radical scheme to develop an alternative to melange, the addictive spice that binds the Imperium together and that can be found only on the desert world of Dune.

In subterranean labs on the machine planet Ix, cruel Tleilaxu overlords use slaves and prisoners as part of a horrific plan to manufacture a synthetic form of melange known as amal. If amal can supplant the spice from Dune, it will give Shaddam what he seeks: absolute power.

Excellent story and delivery but...

As with all these later post-Frank Herbert stories, they are excellent and well narrated. However, my gripe is with the amount of background noise - both hiss and compression artefacts in the background. They are at times very noticeable and detract slightly from the overall enjoyment of the story.
Other than that, brilliant 👏!!!

Really enjoyed this

Read the Dune series first, before embarking on the ‘house of’ books. They each fill in background to the characters you’ll meet in the Dune books. I guess any of the House Of books make a good story as stand alone novels, but they really are best, read AFTER the main series.
The stories are good and the narration is as excellent as ever. Well worth the credit paid.

Conclusion to the houses trilogy

Very much feels like a climax of the house trilogy. All the various subplots are brought together and resolved satisfactorily. Without wanting to spoil anything worth a listen.

excellent trilogy

it felt very much like his father wrote this trilogy.

I really enjoyed all the backstory, that sheds light on what brought all the houses to the positions in the original novel

A fantastic prelude.

I enjoyed reading these three books when they were released. I've enjoyed them as much in audiobook format. A fantastic story, adding to the rich tapestry of Dune. My thanks to both authors.

Excellent narration by Scott Brick, each character has their own voice, superb!

Narration was adequate

Great story, narration was adequate but could have been better. Well worth a listen though.

YES, YES, YES!!

Absolutely excellent end to the incredible house trilogy. Scott Brick is easily the best man for the job, as his narration is wonderful. I recommend this trilogy over, and over.

Outstanding

Wasn’t sure what to expect when I first came across these titles. I chanced the first book in the series and was hooked after the initial chapters. I shall revisit all the original books now along with the final conclusion book.
Well done Scott Brick, a fine job narrating what will become a future science fiction classic series. 10/10
