Review
"Even if you've already read the entire series (or heard another version), the great production and voice work in this release makes it worth the time spent listening. Like me, you'll probably gain some additional insights after hearing Macmillan Audio's rendition of this classic."--SF Site "...the talented cast—Euan Morton, Katherine Kellgren, Scott Brick and Simon Vance—do yeoman's labor. Each reads from a different point of view, a move that could easily be confusing but for the superb direction."--Publishers Weekly "This science-fiction novel works exceptionally well as a full-cast recording…Simon Vance helps listeners conjure vivid mind pictures from Herberts poetic descriptions.” - AudioFile "Euan Morton, Katherine Kellgren, Scott Brick and Simon Vance do an excellent job of distinguishing the wide variety of male and female characters involved in this episode... [I] recommend that other Dune fans try the audiobooks." - Bookloons.com
