Product Description:
“Scott Brick delivers a powerful and entertaining reading reminiscent of a theatrical performance in a brilliant one-man show. Brick’s voice is ideally suited to this extraordinary tale; no doubt he studied the prose of each novel to capture the dialect perfectly. This is a superb, solid reading that will appeal to fans and newcomers alike.” - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Frank Herbert's Dune ended with Paul Muad’Dib in control of the planet Dune. Herbert’s next Dune book, Dune Messiah, picked up the story several years later after Paul’s armies had conquered the galaxy. But what happened between Dune and Dune Messiah? How did Paul create his empire and become the Messiah? Following in the footsteps of Frank Herbert, New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson are answering these questions in Paul of Dune.
The Muad’Dib’s jihad is in full swing. His warrior legions march from victory to victory. But beneath the joy of victory there are dangerous undercurrents. Paul, like nearly every great conqueror, has enemies--those who would betray him to steal the awesome power he commands. . . .
And Paul himself begins to have doubts: Is the jihad getting out of his control? Has he created anarchy? Has he been betrayed by those he loves and trusts the most? And most of all, he wonders: Am I going mad?
Paul of Dune is a novel everyone will want to read and no one will be able to forget.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Paul of Dune
Arrived a little earlier than expected, in perfect condition. Thank you for the pre-notification for purchase of this novel.
Rating: - This is what happened between Dune and Dune Messiah
As every Dune fan knows, there was a lapse of a few decades between Dune and Dune Messiah, the latter having picked up after Paul's Jihad campaigns. This is the story being told here. It oscillates between Paul fighting his Jihad after he replaces the Leader of the known universe and Paul as a young man/boy. It also focuses on the origin of the Harkonen and Atreides rivalry, which originated in House Moritani.

Rating: - Even in the future, wars are without end...
This story begins "One Year After the Fall of Shaddam IV" and continues through the next four years, with substantial flashbacks into a time in Paul's life, age 12, during his first hands-on experience with war. Though it's been years since I've read Frank Herbert's sequels to his masterpiece DUNE, this volume seems to mesh fairly well with what came before with only minor inconsistencies from the original.
In PAUL OF DUNE, the reader is carried through Paul's out-of-control Jihad, which his prescience ... Read More
Rating:  - A Paul Without Paul's Attention to Detail
I promised myself that I would never read another Herbert/Anderson 'addendum' to the original Dune series after the disaster that was The Butlerian Jihad. However, due to forgetting to send in my negative desire for this book to the SF book club, it showed up on my doorstep, and obsessive reader that I am, I eventually cracked the covers of this book.
Surprisingly, it's not an unmitigated disaster, but rather a book that fills some holes between Dune and Dune Messiah, and almost managed to convince me ... Read More
Rating: - Political machinations and intrigue are worthy of the most Machiavellian of politicians and rulers
To start this review, I must confess that I have never read any of Frank Herbert's "Dune" books. At the end of the first book, "Dune" Paul Muad'Dib has taken control of the planet Dune and at the start of the second book, "Dune Messiah"; Muad'Dib has taken control of the galaxy. Furthermore, Paul has become a significant religious figure, considered by many to be the embodiment of a new religion. This book fills the gap and is the story of how Muad'Dib went from the ruler of a single planet to emperor of the entire ... Read More
