Publisher’s Summary
More than three thousand years have passed since the first events recorded in Frank Herbert’s 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 . . .

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Great performance.”
After I read God Emperor about five years ago, to me, it was one of the most engrossing book I had ever read.This audiobook does the novel justice. Each of the voice actors match the mood and atmosphere nicely.
My one dislike I have with the audiobook, in my opinion, would have to be the woman narrator. She was great up until she did the voice of Leto. Having the male narrator do all the voices even the women kind of became stale. So allowing a lady to add a touch of feminism sure kept me listening. That being said, the male should have jumped in. Again that is my opinion.
I would definitely recommend this audio to all the fans of the dune novels for sure. Also, to individuals who may of had a hard time reading the novel.
And of course, to those who enjoy audiobooks in general.
My rating comes from my true opinions which I have just expressed.

4/5 stars — “Love that this is more acted out”
This was so easy to listen to. Acted out almost like a radio drama without the antique feel.— volcano804, Audible listener
