Good book and narration.
- I've always enjoyed Frank Herbert's ability to bring me into the characters. He makes me care about them, feel their emotions, and root for them (or against them). His imagination knew no bounds. Godmakers did not disappoint me in any of those areas. I just wish that there was more of it. The narration was great, even though the pacing was a bit on the slow side.

Author Bio: Frank Herbert
Frank Herbert (1920–1986), winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards and a #1 New York Times bestselling author, was born in Tacoma, Washington, and worked as a reporter and later as an editor for a number of West Coast newspapers before becoming a full-time writer. His first science fiction story was published in 1952, but he achieved fame more than ten years later with the publication of “Dune World” and “The Prophet of Dune” in Analog. The stories were amalgamated in the bestselling novel Dune in 1965.
