The Herberts, Frank and Brian, specialize in sweeping tales of far-off worlds that immerse listeners in an alien culture that comes alive. The human crusade led by Serena Butler and the unctuous Ivlis Ginjo against thinking machines has ground on for 20 years. In this sequel to Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, human forces are making few advances, and humanity is growing restive with the long conflict. On a backwater planet, the source of the addictive spice melange, Selim Wormrider is gathering his band of outlaws, who will play such a large role in the future. Norma Cenva, the finest mind alive, is working in a slum lab, shunned by everyone except businessman Aurelius Venport. Her discovery of "folding space" will allow instantaneous galaxywide space travel. Unfortunately, Norma is such the absent-minded scientist that she is almost a caricature. And Serena is annoying. It is the murder of her son, Manion, that was the flashpoint for this long-lasting war, yet her inattention allows Ivlis free rein not a good thing, as Ivlis is the complete villain. Still, Scott Brick is an excellent reader; he varies tone and intonation enough to allow the listener to differentiate among characters, and he speaks clearly and with enthusiasm. Dune is a staple in any sf collection; highly recommended. Nancy Reed, McCracken Cty. P.L., Paducah, KY Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
