Dune: The Machine Crusade: Book Two of the Legends of Dune Trilogy Audiobook

" it was alright. nothing fantastic. "

" Again, this whole prequel isn't as solid as it could have been. Too long and lacking in substance. "

" I kinda get the message. It was supposed to be a very moving story, the most tragic of the trilogy. A story of great despair and supreme sacrifice. If only it was better written... "

" Some trilogies have a weak second book, but the Machine Crusade was better than the Butlerian Jihad. I love all the connections between this book and the original Frank Herbert Dune Chronicles. Can't wait to read the third book "

" I love Dune. The original books, and the Lynch film, are some of my favorite things. I like Anderson's other scifi writing, and the Dune prequels are decent, entertaining books. I'm halfway through this one though and realized some of the romantic interactions don't ring so true... it's not something I'd noticed before, so I don't know what that means. "

" Good clean fun, if you like the Dune Universe, this is a good place to park your brain and play for awhile. "

" None of the books written by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson will compare to the Frank Herbert books, but they are good filler. "

" Again ... You can see a lot of his father in Herbert's writing, but he resolves conflicts and eliminates main characters much too easily. it's as if he gets stuck and isn't sure where to go, so he finds the quickest resolution and goes with it. "

" The dune series is amazing!!! A must read for any sci-fi fan "

" I keep hoping that these later written books are worth the read. They are not. Often they aren't even really on the topic of the title. This one was just a rambling "history" without any real plot. Even when one of the characters looses their life mate, no emotional response & she was human. "

" Dune: The Machine Crusade (Legends of Dune) by Brian Herbert (2002) "

" Good 2nd installment, still no connection to the original Dune, but stands well on its own. "

" one of the best books in this series "

" Fails to live up to the original series. "

" Really well done prequel series "

" worth reading, entertaining story that can be interesting for Dune-likers, and hey more readable for would-be fans turned off by what for some is Frank Herbert's occasionally challenging-to-penetrate writing. "

" Not bad. Everybody you care about dies. Weird that. "

" These books are interesting. But they're not nearly as well written or deep as Frank Herbert's and frankly there are inconsistencies with the main Dune books. That shouldn't be, since the only reason for these is to flesh out the back story. "

" Though not as deep as the early Dune books of his father, Brian did these books just fine... "

" As good as the first in the series. "

" read review for Butlerian Jihad. same story "

" I just love the Dune books....can't get enough. Rereading the whole series now plus a few I never got to... "

" Though I felt that the story became a little far fetched and beyond the realms of belivability within the Dune Universe, I did enjoy the fantastical touches the Machine Crusade added to the series. "

" I liked this book in SPITE of Brian Herbert, not because of him. This is probably the best Dune book you are going to find from Brian Herbert. The story is interesting and he does a competent job of telling it. "

" Not the worst of the new series, but barely measures up to the title. "

" Some trilogies have a weak second book, but the Machine Crusade was better than the Butlerian Jihad. I love all the connections between this book and the original Frank Herbert Dune Chronicles. Can't wait to read the third book "

" I couldn't finish it (which, for me, says a lot.) "

" a self-indulgent foray into what should have been left apocryphal "
