Who's read God Emperor of Dune?
Fantastic discussions of religion and how it impacts governments and societies.

Actually, that discussion runs through all the Dune books, but it really comes to the fore in God Emperor.

Any thoughts?

1. Yea... I'm really glad
that I'm not ruled by an almost immortal worm-guy with a god-complex.
That, and that I'm not poor Duncan Idaho.

I'm waiting for his son to bring out the post-Chapterhouse books that clarifies things... Honored Maters, the things that hunt them... the precicient Face Dancers...

2. Yeah
Idaho was the biggest victim of the Golden Path, except for Leto himself.

3. Excellent books
Every detail of society: culture, environment, religion, government meticulously detailed.
