About this listen
The son of Duke Leto and Lady Jessica, the heir of Caladan.
He will become the fabled Muad'Dib.
Before he set foot on the sands of Arrakis, Paul was forged into the young man who would become a great leader, a hero . . . even a tyrant. Just as he turns fifteen years old, Paul is faced with turbulent crises on Caladan - political turmoil, as well as the unravelling of his family.
His mother, Lady Jessica, has been blackmailed and forced by the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood to leave Caladan and become the new concubine of another lord, in an effort to prove her loyalty . . . and break her heart.
Duke Leto Atreides, driven to extremes to prove his service to Emperor Shaddam, and to preserve and strengthen his Great House at all costs, has undertaken a dangerous mission that goes against the grain of his honour - to pretend to join the violent rebel cause of the bloodthirsty Jaxson Aru, even to befriend the terrorist leader. The loyal Gurney Halleck has been dispatched on a secret, vitally important mission to inform the Emperor of Leto's true cause, that his honour has never wavered . . . but Gurney has been intercepted and captured by the terrible Harkonnens.
Young Paul is left to serve as the steward to Caladan, his beloved and beautiful world . . .and in preparation for that, the young man has been trained in mental acuity by the warrior Mentat Thufir Hawat, pushed to the extremes of his abilities by the faithful Swordmaster Duncan Idaho, and taught in natural science by the Suk Doctor Wellington Yueh, who harbours his own dark secret.
Paul must meet every challenge, grow and become strong enough to protect a world . . . but the heir of Caladan does not know that these trials will shape him into the man who will conquer an entire Imperium.©2022 Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson (P)2022 Penguin Random House Australia

The backstory lead-up to Dune.
The Caladan series provides the essential lead-up to where the original story begins, and provides an excellent backdrop for the original. Well done to the authors for bringing to life the origins of Dune. A daunting task most excellent in its execution.

Great addition
It’s always great to have another story in this universe with more depth added to all the characters.

not the best addition to the Dube sage
I have enjoyed the expanded dune series overall, but this one has some glaring plot holes, especially in its attempts to lead into the original dune book. (won't lost any examples due to spoilers)
