Books like The Godmakers

This book may be the ultimate secret agent novel.It could also be the most insanely ambitious work of anthropological science fiction.It's also a gold mine for anyone interested in Frank Herbert's work.Let me explain...The Godmakers is a fix-up novel, a cluster of short stories smooshed into the shape of a novel. The plot concerns the adventures of Lewis Orne, an extraordinarily capable agent working for two interstellar agencies. His mission is to prevent a devastating war. As he progresses in his career - yes, Godmakers is also a bildungsroman! - his abilities and achievements escalate. The conclusion sees Orne (view spoiler)[become a god, or a least a very powerful telekinetic. (hide spoiler)]
