God Emperor of Dune

1984, Animal farm by George Orwell God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert. They fit very good to present time.

The first book’s the best one but there’s an arc that carries through to its conclusion in God Emperor that kinda completes the whole thing. I did read 5 and got about a third of the way through 6 before stopping and I still don’t know why either book exists. The previous story was over, and the new stuff’s muddled and not compelling.

God Emperor of Dune from the Dune series. Work up to it. It's incredibly rewarding.

Dune is fantasy >_> God Emperor of Dune was my favorite even though it was the most preachy. I thought the original Dune was a bit preachy being so strongly allegorical and all. I prefer Herbert's other novels like Whipping Star/The Dosadi Experiment

Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune by Frank Herbert are my favorites. the sequels God Emperor, Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse were good as well but I like the 1st three the most. Dune was about how people shouldn't let supermen lead. it was complex. it was an ecological novel. they had quotable quotes like "thou shall not make a machine in the likeness of the human mind". people say it's the lord of the rings of science fiction. the characters are rich, the plot thick. i highly recommend Dune.
