With more than ten million copies sold, Frank Herbert's magnificent Dune books stand among the major achievements of the imagination. God Emperor of Dune is the astonishing fourth book in the series. Centuries have passed on Dune itself, and the planet is green with life. Leto, the son of Dune's savior, is still alive but far from human, and the fate of all humanity hangs on his awesome sacrifice...

Review:

"God Empereor of Duneseizes the glittering loose ends of empire, ecology and mysticism and weaves them together into a seamless, brilliant tapestry of a human ecology evolving to transcend worlds and time." Baltimore Sun

About the Author

Frank Herbert (1920-1986) created the most beloved novel in the annals of science fiction, Dune. He was a man of many facets, of countless passageways that ran through an intricate mind. His magnum opus is a reflection of this, a classic work that stands as one of the most complex, multi-layered novels ever written in any genre. Today the novel is more popular than ever, with new readers continually discovering it and telling their friends to pick up a copy. It has been translated into dozens of languages and has sold almost 20 million copies.

Alison Croft, September 13, 2011 (view all comments by Alison Croft)
If you struggled through this book the first time, I highly recommend giving it a second read. I might have rated it a 2 or 3 after the first time I read it, but now I give it a 4. It's still not my favorite book of the series, but I appreciate it and understand it more than I did before. On my second reading of the series, I was reluctant to read this one. On my third reading, sometime in the future, I will look forward to reading it.
