Book Description

The desert planet Arrakis, called Dune, has been destroyed. Now, the Bene Gesserit, heirs to Dune’s power, have colonized a green world—and are tuning it into a desert, mile by scorched mile.

Chapterhouse Dune is the last book Frank Herbert wrote before his death: A stunning climax to the epic Dune legend that will live on forever.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Now that the planet Arrakis (Dune) has been annihilated, the Bene Gesserit order turns its stronghold Chapterhouse into another desert world, and from this base, the sisterhood plans its moves against ruthless rivals. Drawing on a vast store of history and religion, the book is "so rich in this one area that others suffer and the narrative crawls," PW observed.

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 Herbert’s 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

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful trip back July 4 2003
By Holly Fuhrmann
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Rereading Herbert's second Dune trilogy--God Emperor, Hertics and now, Chapterhouse Dune--was a wonderful trip back for me. And in Chapterhouse, the Bene Gesserit are going back as well. They've rescued worms from the now destroyed Arrakis, and have moved them to Chapterhouse. Even as they try to move back, they're forced to confront the future and deal with the Honored Matres. A great read, set in a world that feels like coming home to me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that good by Herbert standards April 13 2003
By Rudolph T. Matthews
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Make sure you read the other books first or you'll be lost. This book reads pretty slow and doesn't have the drive found in earlier novels. It seems to be losing speed but at the same time keeping the reader entertained by Herbert like cultural dimensions, science and good writing. I recommend it to any hard core Dune fan but otherwise don't bother.

5.0 out of 5 stars Settle the confusion of the ending yourself. Jan 9 2004
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book, which in my opinion sums up the complete Dune "canon" in the way that Frank Herbert INTENDED to do so after the death of his beloved wife. Yes I know there is a supposedly "hidden manuscript" for a Dune 7 that Brian Herbert is going to turn into a book. I am a bit hesitant to believe it was indeed a direct sequel to Chapterhouse: Dune, and let me give you my reason why. The two characters at the end of the book (Marty and Daniel) are analogous for Frank Herbert and his wife Beverly! Read the last chapter again and maybe you will get it. They are saying goodbye to the universe they created, a universe which has now gotten so ingrained in the public mind that it is no longer "owned" by the author. There are even references to our modern day world if you read it closely. Really, I don't think I am the only one who gets this, please tell me I am not.

This is a very good story to wrap up a very good series. It lacks that flair of Dune, Children of, and God Emperor, but is much better than Brian Herbert's (Frank's son and author... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bene Gesserit ride again
A wonderous closer to Frank Herbert's work, and while it doesn't complete the saga, at least we have his son and Keven J Anderson to finish it and clear everything up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Frank Herbert goes out with a bang in his last Dune novel!
Although Dune is my favorite novel, I have to admit that book 6, Chapterhouse Dune, is a bit of a let-down when compared to the first 5 novels. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars A weak finish
After a very slow start, the book draws your interest and really gets moving - resurrecting the spirit of the early books. But it utterly fails in the end. Read more
