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?

The premise was original and had a lot of promise. Even the story itself was quite engaging. I thought that the writing had a good flow and the style and narration was great.

Unfortunately, not a single character in the book is even remotely likable. They're not even deeply flawed enough to be interesting as character studies. They're just superficial, self-centered and mildly sociopathic. I thought that there would be some deep self-discovery leading to transformations, but that never came.

Good writing should invoke something in the reader and, in that, this was successful. However, I'm just not sure that deep apathy towards the characters was what the author was going for.

Maybe this earth should be deleted

This book was mostly written by Brian, yet the philosophical elements of Frank's work were definitely noticeable.

Overall, it was a cool and imaginative story with twists all the way to the end. And plenty sci-fi.

I was sad it ended.

Nice and tidy story. I liked it.

So I hoped this tale would be better so I was a little disappointed due to high expectations. The story was cool— fantasy storytelling makes really—but set in a sci-fi story. The aliens are gods of creation without knowledge of their own history. They are focused on earth due to free-will and how humans are dangerous to the tellers. When an alien child’s joyride turns the universe on its ear with repercussions to existence itself, this tale divides to focus on the reactions of the aliens and the impact to the alien child’s body and life on earth. It is a good story but still not as good as I wanted it to be, hence the straight 4s. It is not Dune but has a feel of Frank Herbert’s Godmakers or Heaven Makers…just not, due to Brian’s input I assume. While more modern in feel assuredly due to Brian Herbert’s input, it does not hit the heights I expected. We will see if I change my mind after relistening to it in the future. Recommend it to aliens visit earth fans as well as fantasy-science fiction crossover fans, baby!

Some Frank but feels like mostly Brian

You start with a premise that I have never encountered before, follow it with twists and turns in the plot that keep you guessing until the very end and then you have it performed by the man of 1000 voices Scott Brick and you have what has to be one of the most entertaining books of all times. The ending will floor you. The story flows so well that you wish for a second book with the same players. Thank you all.

Frank and Brian Herbert together with Scott Brick it gets no better than this!

Too boring, the thought of 12 more hours of this pains me. The narration was a bit awkward to follow when multiple characters were talking back and forth.

Couldn't finish it

What would have made Man of Two Worlds better?

If it had been slightly tighter, faster paced. With warmer more accessible characters.

Would you ever listen to anything by Frank Herbert and Brian Herbert again?

Yes I love Frank Herbert

Did Scott Brick do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Mr. Brick is the voice of Herbert for me

Could have been so much better

I did like the premise for this book but I didn't get what I was hoping for..
I didn't like the characters. They were petty and selfish or dumb and naive. The book is pretty much a politic and corporate intrigue in a futuristic setting. They were such extremes to the personalities I had a hard time identifying with anyone. The Dreans could have been so cool, but they were mostly boring.
If I hadn't goten the book on sale i would have return it.

Could have been so much more

It was a great premise but by the 7 hour matk, I hated the main character Lot so much, I quit listening and returned the book. I couldn't stick it out anymore. He's in an alien's body and yet he's in control. I found it completely unbelievable that a scion of a race who imaged humanity couldn’t kick a narcissistic journalist out of his head. Even half trained, that should have been child's play. There was no attempt to make it believable either. The story would have been more believable if the Dreen was in control and had to ape human. The reverse is a trite tale of one jerk getting what he wants at the expense of a naive kid. Not an enjoyable read.

unlikable characters
