Publisher's Summary
More than 3,000 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.

A change of pace
I found this book to be quite different from the first three instalments in the Dune series. The cast of characters is much more focused. It also felt “smaller”, by which I mean it seemed the wider universe intruded less on the story.
Speaking of the story, it did not engage me as much as the first three books did. I found the relationships between the main characters strange, particularly Leto and Siona. The book also ends fairly abruptly.
The narration was good, and I much prefer the consistent use of a single narrator over the mixed approach the other titles take.
If you’re already a fan of the series, of have become enthralled, you’ll buy this book. For me personally however, it really didn’t grab me. I found the first three books much more satisfying.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
