Publisher Description

At the end of Frank Herbert's final novel, Chapterhouse: Dune, a ship carrying a crew of refugees escapes into the uncharted galaxy, fleeing from a terrifying, mysterious Enemy. The fugitives used genetic technology to revive key figures from Dune's past, including Paul Muad'Dib and Lady Jessica, to use their special talents to meet the challenges thrown at them.

Based directly on Frank Herbert's final outline, which lay hidden in two safe-deposit boxes for a decade, Sandworms of Dune will answer the urgent questions Dune fans have been debating for two decades: the origin of the Honored Matres, the tantalizing future of the planet Arrakis, the final revelation of the Kwisatz Haderach, and the resolution to the war between Man and Machine. This breathtaking new audiobook in Frank Herbert's Dune series has enough surprises and plot twists to please even the most demanding listener.

"the "final" installment of the dune series, 8th book i think, was again a good read. alot less build up than the previous book and not so slow. it did a great job at tying up the whole series neatly, although many parts were easy to foretell, it was still thoroughly enjoyable. "

    " At last we learn who the old man and woman from Chapterhouse are. Can't wait for the next installment. Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson have done an excellent job carrying out Frank's works. "

    " I actually really liked this book, it was not as good as the original Frank Herbert series and it does appear to blatantly tie in the end of the Dune series with the prequels about the Butlerian his son has written but it was still an engrossing read. "

    " Another solid effort by the duo. I like these better than the Frank Herbert originals - yes I know, blasphemy. "

    " Pretty good ending book to the Dune series, but not as good as the original dune series or the new prequels. Just a must-read if you're a huge dune fan. Otherwise skip it. "

    " Pretty similar to Hunters of Dune as far as quality, complaints and plusses. Pretty predictable and a little cheesie, certainly more so than the first 6 in the series. Still after reading 6 glad I read these two to finish the tale. "

    " I just finished "Sandworms of Dune" and am left feeling empty and angry. It is the absolute worst of all the spinoff books and had a horribly contrived and lame ending. The climax was solved by not one, but two deus ex machina endings. This book made me want to punch Brian Herbert in the butt. "

    " I got bored with the story being dragged out. So I read the edited hi-lights on wiki, and have moved on to another book. Saddened with the thought as to how much richer, and enjoyable, it would have been from the late Frank Herbert. Ah well not to be. "

    " Book 1 of the conclusion of Dune. Better than the prequels, but still lacking in the refinement of Frank Herbert. It almost want to touch on something great, then it falls back to being just good. "

    " The song says you can't have it all. The end of the original dune series is remarkable book that it ever came to print after Franks death. I'm glad to have it. It might not move the earth but its a solid book and it does what it needs to do. "

    " This book was written by Brian Herbert to finish the Dune series that his father started. It was a very good book and I enjoyed it. The original series ended rather abruptly leaving a lot of plots unfinished, and this enjoyably did so. "

    " Ok we all agree he's not his father and how excellent this story would have been if it was written by Frank Herbert... but it still allows us to get some ideas defined originally by Frank. For that I thank you Brian & Kevin "

    " Having reached the climactic end of the Dune story, I can at least see how we've come from point A and arrived at point Z - but having arrived at Z, all I can say is, "so what?". In the hands of better writers (like FH) the end could have been something magical and amazing. "

    " While I enjoyed the book and appreciate the series finally having an ending, I found the authors over use of foreshadowing removed most of the surprise of the ending. I knew from about halfway through the previous book how this one would end. "
