I have shaped this human society and spent over three thousand years ensuring that the entire species finally matures. Three and a half millennia have passed on Arrakis, and the world has changed profoundly: the former desert planet has become a green oasis thanks to technological means. The once proud Fremen are now just a shadow of their former selves, a tourist attraction. Yet there is still a piece of the past on Arrakis, carefully protected from moisture: the Sareer desert. There lives Leto II, the son of Paul Muad'dib. But Leto is no longer human. For millennia, his body has been undergoing a transformation and entering into a symbiosis with the Shai-Hulud. He has given up his humanity to save the people, now presenting himself as a god and demanding absolute submission. Yet his opponents know that he is vulnerable.
