First edition
Offered here is a first edition, first printing of God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert, published by G.P. Putnam’s Sons in 1981. This is the fourth novel in Herbert’s legendary Dune series—widely regarded as one of the most influential works in science fiction. This 411-page hardcover is bound in quarter-black cloth over gray boards, with the title stamped in gilt on the spine. The dust jacket, designed by Brad Holland, features the original $12.95 price on the front flap, and the copyright page bears no indication of later printings—confirming this as a true first edition. Synopsis: Millennia have passed on Arrakis, now transformed from a desert world into one teeming with life. Leto Atreides—son of Paul Muad'Dib—has ruled as the near-immortal God Emperor for over 3,500 years, following his merger with a sandworm. Though his transformation has ensured humanity’s survival, it has come at great personal and moral cost. Now, as a rebellion led by Siona Atreides gathers strength, Leto’s vision of the "Golden Path" faces its most profound test. A cornerstone of the Dune Chronicles, God Emperor of Dune continues the epic saga with philosophical depth, political complexity, and imaginative worldbuilding.Bookleggers is Miami's first and only free book store.
