Dune: The Battle of Corrin

By: Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Fifty-six hard years after the events of The Machine Crusade, after the death of Serena Butler, the bloodiest decades of the Jihad take place. The human worlds begin to hope that the end of the centuries-long conflict with the thinking machines is finally in sight.

Unfortunately, Omnius has one last, deadly card to play. In a last-ditch effort to destroy humankind, virulent plagues are let loose throughout the galaxy, decimating the populations of whole planets. The war that has lasted many lifetimes will be decided in the apocalyptic Battle of Corrin.

In the greatest battle of science fiction history, human and machine face off one last time....And on the desert planet of Arrakis, the legendary Fremen of Dune become the feared fighting force to be discovered by Paul Maud'Dib in Frank Herbert's classic, Dune.

Critic reviews

"Dune addicts will happily devour Herbert and Anderson's spicy conclusion to their second prequel trilogy." ( Publishers Weekly)

Another Amazing Production by Herbert & Anderson!

I just finished this book and once again I’m amazed by this writing team. Herbert & Anderson breathe life into their characters and cleverly reveal the origins of the many concepts we adored in the original Dune series. Ever wonder how the cute navigators in the Spacing Guild originated? Curious about the conditions that prompted the formation of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood? Listen and find out!
The narrator Scott Brick is a one-man ensemble. I’ve listened to several of his readings and I’m continually astounded he can create such a wide range of diverse characters. He makes the reader truly believe in the characters. I only wish the story was much, much longer; I didn’t want it to end. I suggest you read all the Dune prequels in order, then conclude with this one. It’s one of the best purchases you’ll ever make.

At the risk of committing sci-fi sacrilege, I’d say Herbert & Anderson’s works are even better than Frank Herbert’s original Dune series. They’re THAT good.

Spice Addict

I have always been a sci fi fan. I didn't know what I was missing. I have been lost in the dunes for months now.

It's still too long

It's a good, complete story with a vast number of characters and subplots, but it's too long for easy listening.

Enjoyed the book

I thought the ending was good and the whole book was well written. I am going to start the next book in the series next week.

outstanding

very interesting, to get background on house corrine, history of mentats, the sisterhood, the rivalry between house harkinan and atreides, the destruction of thinking machines. highly recommend! excellent story and reading!!!

Enjoying the progression

i am filling in the gaps between each book with Tales of Dune. They jave done a great job with keeping with the Legacy of his original works and bringing so much to the over all arc of Dune. Onto the Sisterhood of Dune

awesome book

loved it and would recommend it to every one. nice reading by Mr brick. thanks!

Another great read/listen

The battle of corrin answered a lot of questions i had after jumping into the series at Dune(2021). I'm excited to start the next book and fill in more blanks.

So far the best of all the DUNE books

I am working my way through the prequels having also listened to the original Dune stories on here, and this was so far the best of them all…
Immersive, complex and paced it lays the ground the divide in the two central houses that would last for generations whilst completing the storyline of the thinking machine history and their thousand year rein…

Excellent reading throughout as one has come to expect from Scott Brick. I am already looking forward to the opportunity to listen to it all again, just not until after completing the series first…

An epic conclusion to an epic series.

This is the third in the Legends of Dune series. You definitely need to read these in order. If you have not read the original Dune series I'd advise starting with those as they will give you a greater appreciation of this series. Brian Herbert isn't as good as his father, but he is still a pretty good author in his own right. He wraps up this prequel to the Dune series in a satisfying way. You finally get to learn why the feud between the Atreides and Harkonnen takes place. If you love Dune you 'll want this one.
