Paul of Dune is a sci-fi adventure novel everyone will want to read and no one will be able to forget.
“Scott Brick delivers a powerful and entertaining reading reminiscent of a theatrical performance in a brilliant one-man show. Brick’s voice is ideally suited to this extraordinary tale; no doubt he studied the prose of each novel to capture the dialect perfectly.

Frank Herbert’s Dune ended with Paul Muad’Dib in control of the planet Dune. Herbert’s next Dune book, Dune Messiah, picked up the story several years later after Paul’s armies had conquered the galaxy. But what happened between Dune and Dune Messiah? How did Paul create his empire and become the Messiah? Following in the footsteps of Frank Herbert, New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson are answering these questions in Paul of Dune.
The Muad’Dib’s jihad is in full swing. His warrior legions march from victory to victory. But beneath the joy of victory there are dangerous undercurrents. Paul, like nearly every great conqueror, has enemies–those who would betray him to steal the awesome power he commands. . . .
And Paul himself begins to have doubts: Is the jihad getting out of his control? Has he created anarchy? Has he been betrayed by those he loves and trusts the most? And most of all, he wonders: Am I going mad?

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Better than most of the original series”
I was skeptical of this series at first and debated listening to one. Dune was one of the best books I’ve ever read but the subsequent volumes lost something. Paul of Dune comes very close to the original Dune. Perhaps its the characters and the connection to the first book, but regardless I was more enthralled in this story than most of the original series.— Phillip, Audible listener
4/5 stars — “Dune : review.”
The book would have been excellent other than the reader trying to do his own emotional voice inflection very poorly. He also don’t seem to know how to pronounce character names along with other mispronounced words. To bad this was recorded over ten years ago..— Ted , Audible listener
4/5 stars — “Thieves of this series run rampant! “
Overjoyed to have these 2 books, (Winds of Dune the partner to this book), to be able to revisit the original characters that got me so enthralled. Im just the kind of person that was going to love it regardless of its true quality, so yes, I loved it lol. I couldn’t tell you if it’s actually good or not bc to me I thought it was great, but I’ve literally gone through almost all the books starting from Dune through book release order, all in the span of a month. Greatest journey not only through space and time but also just greatest journey period. Amazing how obvious it is how many other authors and even movie makers stole all of the ideas from these books! Most notible being George Lucas, and George R.R. Martin.— JGWINWORTH, Audible listener
