God Emperor of Dune

There is no question the Dune series is influential. It deserves its place in the pantheon of sci-fi. However, God Emperor was my least favorite. Leto II goes on and on about his “Golden Path”, but there is never any really clear idea of what this means.

Political and philosophical machinations and discussions abound, and in the end I was left wondering really what had taken place in the book and how important it was.
