There are several different DUNE torrents on ABB.
What differs with this are 2 things.

1. The VOICE ACTOR (and proper actor) George Guidall, all others are NARRATORS (yes there is a big differens, at least in my view).
It matters a lot for the immersion

2. I believe (and hope) this upload is “flawless”, there are usually some quality issues (the recording is 25 years old) but I belive I got this right and can hardly belive this is an old recording.

If you notice any quality issues PLEASE leave a comment with a time stamp, so I can try to fix it.
The book is 23 hours long so it is easy to miss things, can’t really listen to it 20 times…

George Guidall’s Dune is by most considered THE DUNE recording, The “Classic”

George Guidall had in 2014 recorded 1.270 Audio Books!!! (probably a record)
If a book is 10 hours, you work a 40 hour work week, that’s 1.587 working days (> 6 years) if you do it in one take…

In short “A Busy Guy”

Ok what about the Book??? DUNE.
Well I belive most people know what it is about.

The short version:
It is about a guy in a desert and big worms.

The longer version:
Hugo Best Novel
Nebula Awards Best Novel
Hugo Best Novel (nominee)

The Duke of Atreides has been manoeuvred by his arch enemy, Baron Harkonnen, into administering the desert planet of Dune.
Although it is almost completely without water, Dune is a planet of fabulous wealth, for it is the only source of a drug prized throughout the Galactic Empire.
The Duke and his son, Paul, are expecting treachery and it duly comes – but from a shockingly unexpected place.
Then, when Paul succeeds his father, he becomes a catalyst for the native people of Dune, whose knowledge of the ecology of the planet gives them vast power.
They have been waiting for a leader like Paul Atreides, a leader who can harness that force…

If you miss any of the DUNE books I have posted a large collection recently

and it was that torrent that “forced me” to do this upload after @cn145912 kindly posted:
“The book Dune, part III is corrupted around 2:12:02″
Well it was only 10-20 sec (out of 23 hours) but still.

This is a Classic so there SHOULD be a good torrent of this on ABB.
That is more or less our duty 🙂

OOOH Yeah The Artwork is “Jodorovsky’s Dune”

Yeah got a bit long…

PLEASE COMMENT ON THE AUDIO QUALITY (and remember it IS 25 years old)
