Life on other planets, Robots, Fiction
This is a prequel to the famous Dune series written by the authors father Frank Herbert, and is one of a long series of books which pre-date the famous Dune books....others include Dune House Atreides, House Harkonnen, and The Winds of Dune. The various series by Brian Herbert, written after his father's death HAVE HAD A MIXED RECEPTION, some liking the continuation of his father's concept and others feeling the books didn't have the atmospheric feel of the original series and were playing on Frank Herbert's fame

God, it turns out, lives on the planet Tananius-Ofo in the distant galaxy 722C12009. And now, after countless millennia, He's invited us to come visit Him. Not everybody, mind you. Just an odd assortment of heathens, heriticts, pantheists, perverts and true believers of every sect and creed - all crammed into a single white spaceship piloted by a slightly crazed bio-computer. Each pilgrim is determined to be the first to reach God and learn His secrets... if they don't all kill each other on the way there.First time in trade paperback, from the international best-selling author of the Dune books!
