Lewis Orne is one of the best agents in the Rediscovery and Reeducation Service, tasked with locating planets lost after the devastating Rim Wars. But when signs of potential violence are detected on the isolated world of Hamal, Orne is reassigned to a more dangerous mission.
Sent to investigate the planet’s culture and psychology, Orne expects resistance. What he doesn’t expect is to awaken extraordinary powers within himself—abilities that blur the line between man and god.
On Hamal, he is welcomed not as a diplomat, but as a deity. The temptation is real, and the cost of saying yes may be far greater than he imagined.
The Godmakers is a philosophical, visionary sci-fi classic from Frank Herbert, exploring power, identity, and the dangerous allure of divinity.
