Publisher's Summary

More than 3,000 years have passed since the first events recorded in Dune. Only one link survives with those tumultuous times: the grotesque figure of Leto Atreides, son of the prophet Paul Muad'Dib, and now the virtually immortal God Emperor of Dune. He alone understands the future, and he knows with a terrible certainty that the evolution of his race is at an end unless he can breed new qualities into his species.

But to achieve his final victory, Leto Atreides must also bring about his own downfall.

All round brilliance.

After a lackluckster second book, Frank Herbert set a new standard with the third and fourth in the series.

God Emperor was as thrilling and grand as the original Dune and the originality stands alone as a titan of sciencr fiction.

The narration was fantastic as always. Multiple actors, real emotion in the lines.

One of the best reads ever in my opinion.

Brilliantly narrated

An excellent rendition of the classic Herbert book by a great series of narrators. I highly recommend this version to all lovers of the Dune series.

Aaaaah, Moneo...

Take your own steps onto the Golden Path, dive into the God Emperor's stolen journals, and enjoy every single Moneo that comes out of Leto's mouth.
