- God Emperor of Dune compares well with the original Dune, better than the previous two sequels (Dune Messiah and Children of Dune). It doesn't quite measure up to the standard of the first book, but few books, anywhere, do. Warning: God Emperor of Dune is the third sequel to Dune.
- 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.
- Frank Herbert’s God Emperor of Dune picks up 3,500 years after the events of Children of Dune, with Leto II Atreides now a massive human-sandworm hybrid ruling over the Empire as its God Emperor. He underwent the bodily transformation to create a period of enforced peace that would preserve humanity and redirect its worst impulses.
God Emperor of Dune. Book Four in the Magnificent Dune Chronicles—the Bestselling Science Fiction Adventure of All Time Millennia have passed on Arrakis, and the once-desert planet is green with life. Leto Atreides, the son of the world’s savior, the Emperor Paul Muad’Dib, is still alive but far from human.
Frank Herbert was a critically acclaimed and commercially successful American science fiction author. He is best known for the novel Dune and its five sequels. Herbert began researching Dune in 1959. He was able to devote himself wholeheartedly to his writing career because his wife returned to work full-time as an advertising writer for department stores, becoming the breadwinner during the 1960s. God Emperor of Dune is a science fiction novel, published in 1981, the fourth in his Dune series of six novels. Dozens of centuries after the death of Leto II, who reigned for more than 3,500 years, explorers have found a hoard of “ridulian crystals” whose contents cover all of the god emperor’s activities for centuries. What will they reveal? Immediately the action switches to the final year of Leto’s reign. His human form has been completely transmogrified into a quasi-human version of the giant sandworm for which Arrakis was famous. He has ruled the empire both benevolently and despotically at one and the same time; he is in many ways the predator of his universe, as well as its spiritual head. He is also its sustaining force, and the source of its life-giving essence, for he is the sole producer of melange, that mysterious substance, a by-product of the sandworm, which can give its addicts untold decades or even centuries of health-filled life… Listen online to free English audiobook 'God Emperor of Dune” on our website to experience Frank Herbert's novel.

- God Emperor of Dune
Fans of the Netflix series Mindhunter are still reeling from the news that despite rave reviews and a strong cult following, the show is currently in limbo. For now it is uncertain whether the show will be back or not. The Netflix program was based on the bestselling book Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit by John Douglas. Douglas inspired several fictional characters like Frank Lundy from Dexter.Jason Gideon and David Rossi from Criminal Minds, as well as the entire unit they work in, are also partially based on Douglas’ life.
Douglas’ book outlined the pioneering methods of the Behavioral Science Unit as they used interviews with serial killers to develop a methodology today known as criminal profiling. Douglas inspired the character Jack Crawford in Thomas Harris’ book Red Dragon and its sequel Silence of the Lambs. Apparently however, neither actor Scott Glenn nor former FBI agent John Douglas were quite happy with the character, but for different reasons.

Douglas said he hated the character. “They don’t put across accurate portrayals, and [that] aggravates me,” Douglas told The New York Post. “I can’t look at those movies.” Meanwhile, Glenn refused to revisit the iconic Crawford character for a nearly opposite reason. While researching the role, Glenn met with Douglas. To help him along, Douglas played a graphic recording of serial killer’s Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris brutal rape and torture of a teenager. When asked why he played the tapes for him, Douglas simply replied, “Now you are part of my world.”
Mindhunter, however was a different story. “They’re going by the book and I am very pleased,” Douglas told the Post. Watching the series was, “like reliving my life all over again.” But what does any of this have to do with audiobooks? Well, that’s where serial killer Ed Kemper III comes in.
ED KEMPER: SERIAL KILLER AND PRISON-BASED VOICE ARTIST
In the clip of Kemper in the video above, or the full 1984 interview the scene in Mindhunter is based on, Kemper is intimidating. At 6’9″ and with an IQ of 145, that’s no real wonder. In conversation, the Co-Ed Killer is calm, intelligent… and utterly chilling. No less chilling is the thought that such a cruel and calculated socipath could have such a warm, resonant, pleasant even, speaking voice. Perhaps this is why he was so fitted for The Blind Project of the Volunteers of Vacaville.
LA Times spoke with Kemper in January of 1987. After a blind couple visited to thank Ed before their marriage, the disarmingly charming murderer had this to say: “Their visit here is so special for us. We get letters of thanks from our blind patrons, but they never come inside the prison to meet us,” Kemper told the Times. Kemper was even honored for his work with the program by two large trophies.
He was actually in charge of the program at the time. As of that article, Kemper had read over 5,000 hours of books, four million feet of analog tape.
Can you imagine reading so much, as a blind person in the 1970s, that you are more familiar with the voices of serial killers than your distant family members?
— Pearse Anderson 🌅 (@PearseAnderson) August 24, 2019
Kemper narrated hundreds of books. God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert, Star Wars by George Lucas, Petals on the Wind and Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews, The Rosary Murders by William Kienzle, Sphinx by Robin Cook, Bowdrie’s Law by Louis L’Amour, Dashiell Hammett’s The Glass Key and many more.
“I can’t begin to tell you what this has meant to me, to be able to do something constructive for someone else, to be appreciated by so many people, the good feeling it gives me after what I have done.”
In case you’re wondering, Kemper is no longer listed as a part of the Vacaville Volunteers narration project. As for the audiobooks, good luck trying to track them down. The link at the Vacaville site that listed his catalog is no longer online and the audiobooks themselves were never released to the general public.
