Suggested by tallboi
The world of Dune is no more, and the Imperium of old is long gone. Rakis has long since been transformed into a verdant paradise, and the universe has been ruled by the terrible God-Emperor Leto II for the past 3,500 years. Having given up his human form, the hybrid of man and sandworm commands the Imperium with an iron fist. The spacing guild travels the cosmos only with his approval, the breeding programs of the Bene Gesserit have been usurped, and the Tleilaxu are forced to grant Leto legions of Gholas of the legendary warrior Duncan Idaho to command his all-female armies of Fish Speakers. However, the God-Emperor is not without enemies. On the fringes of the Imperium, the daughter of his own mojordomo plots to overthrow him, the newest Duncan Idaho ghola is proving difficult to sway and chafes under his role in this society so alien to him. Worse still, the Ixian Technocracy has presented Leto with a particular gift, a woman who shows not only incredible compassion and love for Leto, but who is also completely hidden from his otherwise omniscient powers of prescience!
