Synopsis

“Characters are imbued with heroic voices, delivering colorful cadences that catch the ear. Scenes are masterfully undergirded by mounting tension and sinister manipulation. . . . [Scott] Brick turns in a rewarding performance.” —AudioFile on Dune: The Duke of Caladan

In Dune: The Heir of Caladan, the climactic novel in the Caladan trilogy by New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, we step into the shoes of Paul Atreides. A not yet a man in years, he is about to enter a world he could never have imagined.

The story that began with Duke Leto Atreides's rise to power, then continued with the consequences of Lady Jessica’s betrayal, will now conclude with Paul becoming the leader that he needs to be on the way to his pivotal role as Muad’Dib.

Any Dune fan will devour this tale of a legend coming into his own.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

2.5 Stars Rounded Down This trilogy should've been 1 thin book or novella. Much of this interferes with the Dune Canon as created by Frank Herbert. I think the issues with the Landsraad, Emporer Shaddam, and Baron Harkonnen all could've been interesting. Aa background to how Duke Leto I ended up on Arr......more

Goodreads review by Jacek on June 27, 2024

Bardzo udane zamknięcie trylogii Kaladanu, która stanowi bardzo mocny prequel do oryginalnej Diuny (ostatnia książka kończy się praktycznie chwilę przed oryginalną Diuną). Jest akcja, są emocje, jest Arrakis oraz większość postaci z oryginalnej Diuny. Możemy poznać losy przed samym przesunięciem Atryd......more
