"In GEOD, we learn of Leto's Golden Path, and through turns philosophical, cruel, and ultimately hopeful, we come to realize Leto's true gift to the world."

"Leto II continues his quest for 'The Golden Path' as his transformation to a sandworm continues and his humanity slips away. Through his control of 'melange' he dominates all of the factions involved. Consequently, they all conspire against him continuously."
