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.

Critic reviews

"Compelling...A worthy addition to this durable and deservedly popular series." (The New York Times)

Featured Article: Dune (2021)—Book vs. Movie


The very first book to win the Nebula Award, Frank Herbert's Dune has long been a fixture of the sci-fi world. It's no surprise, then, that yet another filmmaker has taken a stab at bringing this classic to the screen. The latest effort, by Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve, captures the first half of the epic novel. The reviews have been generally positive, with critics and audiences blown away by the scale and sheer ambition of the adaptation. Overall, Villeneuve's 2021 adaptation of Herbert's sci-fi classic is quite faithful. But in what small ways does the film differ from the book?

Frank Herbert's entire Dune series is a treasure. One of the narrators pronounced the names and locations so differently from the other narrators that it actually ruined my immersion in the story. I really wish that Macmillan Audio would have just stuck with the narrator that did the majority of the book. He's fantastic.

Everything was excellent, except...

Upon reflection, each story seems meant to buffer and plant the seeds for the story that follows. Chapterhouse is an amazing culmination of events from the previous five dune books, and is triumphant in its execution of dialog and compelling character development.

Simon Vance as narrator perfects this wonderful series.

I really love the Dune saga.
I do however not like when multiple narrators are used. It tends to lead to multiple different pronunciations of names like Scytale, which is pronounced "Sytale" by some (and in all related books up to this point), but also "Skytale" by a couple of the narrators. The concept Powindah is pronounced with a emphasis on the win-part by most narrators, but one chose to emphasise the po-part.
Names and important concepts, should be hammered out before recording the narration.

Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but it stems from my love of the material.

Overall good, but with it's flaws.

Only problem is some of the performers are not that great... some get annoying... great end to the story... oh n don't read the continuation of this story from the son!! Not worth it... a noble but a lacking amateur attempt at finishing the story

Great story

I loved hearing this in the audiobook format. The only thing I would change is instead of using three narrators, I would have stuck to just one.

Pretty awesome!
