God Emperor Of Dune: The Fourth Dune Novel (Paperback)
Frank Herbert (author)- 10+ in stock
Over three millennia after the events of Dune, the fourth book of Frank Herbert's superb sci-fi series finds Arrakis under the rule of the despotic and practically immortal Leto whose plans to guarantee the survival of his species will not go unchallenged.
The epic that began with the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning classic Dune - now a major motion picture from the director of Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival - continues...
More than three thousand 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...
Read the series which inspired the 2021 Denis Villeneuve epic film adaptation, Dune, starring Oscar Isaac, Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya and Josh Brolin.
