The rest of the series is decent, but it's increasingly difficult to keep going if you're not a true fan. By the fourth book, the universe and the characters have changed too much to my taste. Although I am otherwise an atheist, I firmly believe that Status Quo Is God. That's why Duncan Idaho is my favorite character: while everything changes, and not always for the better, Duncan remains.

I know that Leto II warns us against status quo and stagnation, using his 1500-year reign as a scheme to force humankind to evolve, but I refuse to follow the Golden Path. Long live the old empire!
