The sad thing is, this is pretty much how I remember the book. Four hundred pages of a giant worm talking about yoghurt and why he’s called his all-girl army ‘the Fish Speakers’.
“Sexy robo-legs? Best gift ever, giant floating eye!”
OK, the glowing blue eye represents the psychic powers gained by spice-eaters, but since Worm Guy is Top Psychic, why is it balefully shining down on him? Does it mean he’s always keeping an eye on himself because he suspects him of getting up to funny business?
@Tat Wood: the Dune franchise had nowhere to go but down from that point.
Something makes me think there’s a punctuation mark missing in this title.
Should it be “God! Emperor of Dune” or “God, Emperor of Dune” (as in “God, Emperor of Dune, couldn’t you find a more appealing outfit for your school photo?”)
I had to zoom in twice on the cover photo and am still not sure I’m seein’ what I’m seein’… would re-reading the book help, or just be a waste of time?

I can’t read Hebrew, but I’m guessing it’s one of the DUNE sequels where Paul Atreides mutates into a sandworm-like form.

One of John Barrowman’s more imaginative cosplay efforts.

ARY: Yup. God-Emperor of Dune, in Hebrew (thanks, TinEye).

Oh, a sandworm. And here I was thinking it was some sort of avant-garde salt and pepper set.

Original cover art for *Metamorphosis* before Kafka rejected it.

It’s Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Terminator Gynecologist.”

I’m assuming that’s the severed head of ghola Duncan Idaho.

Can’t wait to see this happen to Timothee Chalomet.

This… I… Um… cocks head to side like a confused dog
WTF indeed.
This is three-syllable-ugly (Ugh-a-lee!)
I don’t remember the legs and arms, but I haven’t read the book in a long time.
GSS to fred, JP (perfect), THX, and JP (again).

Well, they say “carrots are good for your eyes” – they never said anything about the rest of your body… 🙁

@Hammy: now I’m imagining Leto Atreides’ high school yearbook: “Voted most likely to become a giant psychic worm-god.”

How is this not in the top 10? Ew…

@Hammy #22: how about Godspeed You! Dune Emperor.
He can do the Can-Can all by himself.

@Emster: I think it was briefly in the top 10 the week it first assaulted our eyeballs.
