The Navigator Book Club

Host Jamie chats with friends Bené, Kayla, and Ryan about Frank Herbert's popular science fiction novel Dune. With the impending release of the new film, Jamie and Ryan revisit a story that has influenced them since they were teenagers, while Bené and Kayla (a professed non-lover of sci-fi and fantasy) are introduced to Paul and his journey for the first time. Join us on Arrakis for a 3 chapter a week deep-dive- with absolutely no distractions. Okay, maybe a few distractions along the way.
