The Winds of Dune

Book Two of the Heroes of Dune

De: Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Narrado por: Scott Brick

With their usual skill, Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson have taken ideas left behind by Frank Herbert and filled them with living characters and a true sense of wonder. Where Paul of Dune picked up the saga directly after the events of Dune, The Winds of Dune begins after the events of Dune Messiah. Paul has walked off into the sand, blind, and is presumed dead.

Jessica and Gurney are on Caladan; Alia is trying to hold the Imperial government together with Duncan; Mohiam dead at the hands of Stilgar; Irulan imprisoned. Paul's former friend, Bronso of Ix, now seems to be leading opposition to the House of Atreides. Herbert and Anderson's newest book in this landmark series will concentrate on these characters as well the growing battle between Jessica, and her daughter, Alia.

Brian, Kevin and Scott are a good team.

The story like all the books is enthralling. Good to escape into this world for a little while. Sad part is I've read or heard all the books. Look forward the Navigator book coming soon.

More than expected, even for dune standards.

The characterization, story development, and callbacks more than exceeded my expectations. In these intermediary books between the main story, the goal is to give more details but this went far beyond simple characterization and details. Its a great book that expands the universe and gives us more stories about the characters we love.

Average

About average for the series. many missed opportunities for development and broadening of the plot. it didn't really get going until 2/3rds through.

troubles tribulations within immediate family after Paul's MIA.

missing portion of Frank H first novel explains friends and family involvement with Paul's jihad & reasons

Great book

Great book in the continuation of the Master saga; Interesting as more on Dune, IX, Lady Jessica and the Face Dancers are explain

Not exactly what I thought it was going to be.

I will say that I did finish listening to this book but it is probably my least favorite of all the books so far. Awesome narrator, don't think I could listen to a Dune book not read by Scott Brick, he is the voice of Arrakis.

3 hour long tracks

I don’t get why any audiobook is divided as such. It makes is difficult to find you place or scrub through

Breadth

Excellent it was very good both content and depth and performance I enjoyed it very much.

Dune needs a new narrator or Simon Vance

Please stop with using Scott Brick as the only narrator, he’s okay when with others, but he is just too drawn out, and dramatic on his own, and sometimes too similar sounding with his characters. I wish all the expanded novels were narrated by Simon Vance…..

Winds of Dune

A prequel and a sequel to Dune Messiah this fully fleshes out Bronso of Ix. I enjoyed the entire book. Frank and Kevin tell a damn good Dune story.
