The fourth book in his "Dune" series, Herbert features a galaxy-spanning army of true amazons: women of great physical strength, called Fishspeakers.
One Fishspeaker of note named Nayla, is exceptionally strong & muscular: "Her strength, known to few outside the corps of Fish Speakers, was legendary there. Leto had seen her lift a one-hundered-kilo man [220 lbs.] with one hand."
–"God Emperor of Dune" (c. 1981) – Frank Herbert (p.80)

YES!!! I read the Dune series in High school and God Emporer was one of the many influences that pushed me towards my love of muscular women. The book itself is decent enough but the descriptions of the Fishspeakers and especially Nayla and her bulk, and her strength, are detailed and well written, and well worth the read. Herbert also justifies the presence of these amazons which makes me think that he may not have been an FMG fan but rather that this turn of events fit into his grand story line and he gave it the detail and respect it truly deserves.
Wish it was art wise…but damn was that descripition good.

Yeah, I'm about halfway through it.
Herbert may not have been a FMG fan, but I'm glad he put his Amazons in there for us. 😀
