Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact, April 1976 – Children of Dune (Part 4 of 4) – Frank Herbert
This historic issue of Analog magazine concludes the serialized version of Children of Dune, the third novel in Frank Herbert’s groundbreaking Dune saga. Published months before the book’s 1976 hardcover release, this installment follows Paul Atreides’ twin heirs, Leto II and Ghanima, as they confront the crumbling legacy of their father’s empire, the fanatical cult of Muad’Dib, and their own terrifying prescient destinies. Herbert’s themes of ecological determinism, political religion, and human evolution reach new heights in this climax, which sets the stage for God Emperor of Dune.
