The Muad'Dib's jihad is in full swing. His warrior legions march from victory to victory. But beneath the joy of victory there are dangerous undercurrents. Paul, like nearly every great conqueror, has enemies - those who would betray him to steal the awesome power he commands. Paul himself begins to have doubts: Is the jihad getting out of his control? Has he created anarchy? Has he been betrayed by those he loves and trusts the most? And most of all, he wonders: Am I going mad?

Another outstanding sequel
Frank Herbert probably could have closed off the series with this book - it's so well done and it does a great job of tying up the loose strings.
BUT if you're hungering for more books after this, Frank (and family) won't disappoint!

Good story of the Dune cannon.
It does have a heady feeling throughout but it is to be expected from that series. What happens when an all-powerful emperor discusses his motivations, his turmoils and hopes for the future with his subordinates? You get what constitutes about 80% of this book. It may not be for everybody, but it was fully appreciated by this fan!

one of my top 3 books
The Dune series changed my life back when I was 18. I'm going through it now for the 3rd time and I still feel like Frank Herbert is talking directly to me and understands me better than I do. I loved every single word in this book.
Yes, it is definitely not for everyone, but if you, like me, feel like it has been written for you, that elevates the book to a manual of invaluable lessons you can't learn anywhere else.
The performance was very good but I couldn't help being annoyed by the whiny, overly dramatic, almost crying tone of whoever read the quotes before the chapters. Leto would never sound like that.

A nice follow up to Dune Messiah
messiah was a bit of a slog, God-emperor brings the history, science, and religion of Dune back but is far more exciting than the previous book. I really enjoyed it!

The Dune Saga Remains As Weird As Ever
The first thing I realized during the opening chapters of the first Dune book was that it was a weird story. Every following book continued to get weirder and weirder. This book didn't fail that.
Frank Herbert is a master at using philosophy, details, and logic, to slowly twist his characters from past books into lesser, greater, and weirder ways. Paul to the Preacher, Alia to the alien, Leto to Lord. Nothing that Frank Herbert creates escapes this clutches, especially the poor Duncan.
