After it was heralded as a masterpiece of science fiction, he wrote the briefer <em>Dune Messiah</em> in 1969, concentrating eponymously on Paul Atreides, and then, sensing the sales potential, added sequels. They were continued by his son, culminating in the just published finale, <em>Sandworms of Dune</em>. Now, 38 years after its publication, four narrators capture <em>Dune Messiah</em> on discs, while listeners, with no glossary, try to recall the meaning of its esoteric nomenclature. The audio gets off to a lively start as the book opens with nearly all conversation, playing up the camaraderie between the narrators who have partnered on several other readings of classic sci-fi novels. While the cast works well together, some of the male narrators emphasize a stately dullness. Kellgren, the sole feminine voice, supplies real emotion and a true sense of awe. <em>(Oct.)</em> <br> Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
