A determined group of colonists are attempting to establish a bridgehead on the planet Pandora, despite the savagery of the native lifeforms, as deadly as they are inhospitable. But they have more to deal with than just murderous aliens: their ship's computer has been given artificial consciousness and has decided that it is a God. Now it is insisting - with all the not inconsiderable force of its impressive array of armaments to back it up - that the colonists find appropriate ways to worship It .

The situation Frank Herbert and Bill Ransom have created in The Jesus Incident does have the same kind of mythological/religious underpinnings. And, while the characters are motivated and caught up in by the same kind of mystical religiosity that saturates the Dune universe, they just don't ever transcend that human, yet more-than-human threshhold. Chapter after chapter I kept waiting for that Dunish awesomeness, but alas, it seemed as though the story and characters just kept falling short and just sort of hung - almost there, but just not quite.
While it's not Dune (and I mean the entire Dune cycle), it's certainly worth a read.
