(We're re-releasing remastered versions of our Dune book club episodes from 2021. We are reading the ACE mass market paperback version.)

Abu and Leo continue their re-read of Dune. They explore the essential role of Mentats in the galaxy, the limitations of prescient visions, and the mistake of underestimating the Fremen.

This episode contains NO SPOILERS beyond the pages covered so far.
