4th in Dune Chronicles Series

With more than ten million copies sold, Frank Herbert's magnificent DUNE books stand among the major achievements of the imagination. Of them all, GOD EMPEROR OF DUNE, the fourth, is the greatest and the grandest. Centuries have passed on Dune itself, and the planet is green with life. Leto II, the son of Dune's savior, is still alive but far from human. He has become a human-sandworm creature, ruling over his angry and frustrated empire with his vast legions of Fish Speaker soldiers, enforcing peace for dozens of generations to teach the universe a lesson, while also waiting for the right time to turn Dune back into a desert planet. The fate of all humanity hangs on Leto's awesome sacrifice.

"GOD EMPEROR OF DUNE seizes 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)

    A few people warned me that God Emperor is the worst novel of the Dune series: slow, pretentious, severely lacking in action. So I was somewhat surprised to find that I actually enjoyed it much more than the previous two books.

    The exploration of the character of Leto II turned out quite interesting and gave me some new insights into aspects of the earlier books. True, there's not much combat, sex or whatever you may define as 'action' but IMHO Dune was never really about that anyway.
