Story
Narration
“A big, slow, rewarding listen. The cast edition makes the politics far easier to follow than the page.”
The story, without spoilers
Young Paul Atreides moves with his family to the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the most valuable substance in the universe. Betrayal follows, and Paul finds his place among the desert people.
The narration
Scott Brick leads with several other voices for key characters. It helps keep a large cast straight, though the switching takes a chapter or two to get used to.
