Summary
Heretics of Dune, the fifth installment in Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi series.
On Arrakis, now called Rakis, known to legend as Dune, 10 times 10 centuries have passed. The planet is becoming desert again. The Lost Ones are returning home from the far reaches of space. The great sandworms are dying, and the Bene Gesserit and the Bene Tleilax struggle to direct the future of Dune. The children of Dune's children awaken as from a dream, wielding the new power of a heresy called love.

Continues to astound
The performance like all others in the series is sublime. The control of pace; accent and delivery is a masterclass, particularly stretched in this enthralling story.
The tale itself is shocking in its scope and relevance to society today. The grasp of civilisational politics and the many strands within is nothing short of a masterpiece. I have shared across pieces to a professor acquaintance who is nowing using extracts as course materials within his international politics tutorials to inspire debates within the student bodies
Amazing; simply amazing

Best in the series.
This is up there as one of my favourites of all time. All the characters feel important. Every scene is interesting and entertaining. It plays on the expectations set by the previous titles magnificently. What more could you ask for?

another great chapter but not as good as first one
This chapter of the Dune Saga is much more confusing than previous chapters IMHO. less action and more plot and counter plot. still a great read/listen as it takes the saga on a new path.

Addictive Sequel
This follow up to the Dune books is completely compelling! Fully fleshed out new characters and great story of thousands of years in the making. Bring on the next book.

5th book, but more like Dune in excitement
Fish speakers taken to another level leaves it a R-rating, with the most detailed scene though being quite fun. At the same time quite a few descriptions felt odd and unnecessary. just something to be aware of.
Otherwise another good plot but as usual you get deep into the book and then realise its all going to be wrapped up really quickly. was as I as happy about that this time. probably not, needed a bit more.
but will see how the next book completes this on and the series. Charterhouse next, book 6.

Another Duncan.
This part of Frank Herbert's Dune saga revolves around another Duncan and returning people from scattering. Bringing new adversaries and problems to over come.

Ignore the pseudo philosophy
This is a great story, well read. A great story with some very interesting ideas on human potential. Reading / listening again after roughly 20 years I do find the quotes at the beginning of each chapter and the pontificating an unfortunate distraction, and one you can’t skip past, unlike a written book. But overall a really enjoyable story.

Gripping to the last
Don’t listen to naysayers really enjoying the books looking forwarding the last instalment, a real rollercoaster. READ this book 20 years ago and still remember the story, lovely way to o revisit…

Good gripping read, dated in some places
I really enjoyed this book - I never mind what others sometimes call the rambling philosophy and politics, I think they are part of what makes the Dune series great. Slow to start then lots of action. I did not like some of the language and emphasis on the erotic powers at play, for me that theme detracted from a great book with a facile, immature gratuitousness. Other than that, loved it.
