The second book of the Dune Chronicles.

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.
