More than three thousand years have passed since the first events recorded in Frank Herbert's 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 . . .

AudioFile Magazine
In this fourth novel of Frank Herbert's far-reaching and hugely influential Dune series, it is 3,500 years after the setting of the original DUNE, and Paul Atreides's son, Leto II, has evolved into a deity--half man, half beast (sandworm). Much like the gods of Greek myth, Leto is vengeful, suspicious, and envious of his subjects. He even chooses to wed a mortal. Veterans of the entire series, narrators Simon Vance, Scott Brick, and Katherine Kellgren are so familiar and comfortable with the extensive vocabulary and world of DUNE that they effortlessly bring the many characters, philosophical discussions, and diary entries into an incisive sonic whole. An unexpected and devastating conclusion illustrates just how human some gods can be. B.P. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
