Dune Messiah continues the story of Paul Atreides, better known--and feared--as the man christened Muad'Dib. As Emperor of the known universe, he possesses more power than a single man was ever meant to wield. Worshipped as a religious icon by the fanatical Fremen, Paul faces the enmity of the political houses he displaced when he assumed the throne--and a conspiracy conducted within his own sphere of influence.
And even as House Atreides begins to crumble around him from the machinations of his enemies, the true threat to Paul comes to his lover, Chani, and the unborn heir to his family's dynasty...

About the Author
In 1952, Herbert began publishing science fiction with "Looking for Something?" in Startling Stories. But his emergence as a writer of major stature did not occur until 1965, with the publication of Dune. Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune followed, completing the saga that the Chicago Tribune would call "one of the monuments of modern science fiction." Herbert was also the author of some twenty other books, including The White Plague, The Dosadi Experiment, and Destination: Void. He died in 1986.

We had a great conversation, getting deep into topics raised by Frank Herbert's Dune series, focusing in mostly on Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, and God-Emperor of Dune as I recall! https://t.co/AJMQ1FVOYp

Finished Dune Messiah. Have arrived at feeling like Frank Herbert is a lowkey irritating writer - ambitious but sparse, heavy-handed but unfocused. The world is intriguing but the character development bogs down so bad in the second book; everyone’s motivations are so flat.
