Each character’s dialogue is performed by actors, and skilled actors at that. The political intrigue is delicious, the implied history deep and satisfying, and the characters smart. Frank Herbert’s novel remains one of the finest examples of world-building the genre has to offer. Now, years after that, I’ve heard yet another unabridged version of Dune, this time a multi-voice presentation from Macmillan Audio. Revisiting the book was a treat and Guidall is the Yoda of audiobook narration, so win-win.


Years later, I reviewed an unabridged recording of Dune for SFFaudio that was read by George Guidall. I desperately wanted to read it, so I made it the only thing I took with me on a 30 hour bus ride from Tucson, Arizona to Idaho Falls, Idaho. I first read Dune when I was in college (late 1980’s), after a few false starts. Themes: / Science Fiction / Politics / Space travel / Culture / Ecology / By Frank Herbert, Performed by Simon Vance
