Book Description
================
In 1965 Frank Herbert published Dune. After it was heralded as a masterpiece
of science fiction, he wrote the briefer Dune Messiah in 1969, concentrating
eponymously on Paul Atreides, and then, sensing the sales potential,
added sequels. They were continued by his son, culminating in the just
published finale, Sandworms of Dune. Now, 38 years after its publication,
four narrators capture Dune Messiah on discs, while listeners, with
no glossary, try to recall the meaning of its esoteric nomenclature.
The audio gets off to a lively start as the book opens with nearly all
conversation, playing up the camaraderie between the narrators who have
partnered on several other readings of classic sci-fi novels. While
the cast works well together, some of the male narrators emphasize a
stately dullness. Kellgren, the sole feminine voice, supplies real emotion
and a true sense of awe. (Oct.)
Note: I re-encoded this release down from a much higher bitrate to 56kb
ABR. Still sounds terrific.
