MENTATS OF DUNE Schools of Dune, Book 2

Narrator Scott Brick returns to this second in the Great Schools trilogy, part of the complex collection of prequels and sequels within the iconic Dune series. His repertoire of voices for this series is well established, but there’s still opportunity for expansion as new characters are introduced in this history of the Mentat School, which teaches humans the techniques of thinking machines. Given the fanatics working to rid the world of thinking machines, intrigue is plentiful. Pace is important in this long book, and Brick is a master. He maintains the intensity of the plot during the long passages of narrative. He manages dialogue effectively, keeping listeners engaged with the narration throughout.
