About this listen
Frank Herbert's last published novel is a charming and witty science fiction adventure coauthored with his son Brian.
What if the entire universe were the creation of alien minds? After an unfortunate spaceship accident, the hedonistic human Lutt Hansen, Jr., finds himself sharing his body and mind with a naïve alien dreamer. Together the two must survive dangers, schemes, and assassination attempts - but can they survive each other?

Perhaps it is a book half written much earlier and resurrected with a younger eye (Herbert's son) on the story. And perhaps Herbert was unwilling to update his language. And perhaps it should have been left where it was in a bottom drawer because, despite persevering with it almost to the end, I can find no redeeming quality that should have brought it to publication.
The premise, an unwillingly blended human/alien lifeform with the two at loggerheads, had so much promise, all of it squandered on brash, blokey, hugely USA-centric, misogynistic main characters with no substance to them, and female characters who may just as well have been cattle for all the true agency and intrinsic capacity they had. The narrator did his best.
I can find no redeeming quality in this book.
