ReviewsPraise for God Emperor of Dune "Rich fare...Heady stuff."-- Los Angeles Times "A fourth visit to distant Arrakis that is every bit as fascinating as the other three--every bit as timely."-- Time Praise for Dune "I know nothing comparable to it except Lord of the Rings ."--Arthur C.

Heinlein "Herbert's creation of this universe, with its intricate development and analysis of ecology, religion, politics and philosophy, remains one of the supreme and seminal achievements in science fiction."-- Louisville Times

A rebellion, led by Siona, a member of the Atreides family, has risen to oppose the despot's rule. But Siona is unaware that Leto's vision of a Golden Path for humanity requires her to fulfill a destiny she never wanted--or could possibly conceive....
