Dune Messiah

The story that began in Frank Herbert's classic novel Dune continues with Dune Messiah, an extraordinary novel about the price of victory and the costs of war.

Dune Messiah is the remarkable sequel to Dune, the greatest science fiction novel of all time. Twelve years after his victory over House Harkonnen, Paul Atreides rules as Emperor from the desert planet Arrakis, but his victory has far-reaching consequences. The war has reached the entire known universe, and billions have already died. Although Paul has become the most powerful emperor in history, he is powerless to end the fighting. As former allies conspire to overthrow Paul, and even his own companion acts against him, Paul accepts a gift from the Tleilaxu, a guild of genetic manipulators, in the hope of finding a spark of peace and friendship amidst betrayal and chaos. However, this act undermines Paul's support from the Fremen, his own people. The Fremen are the true source of Paul's power.
