Dune Messiah

Book Two in the Magnificent Dune Chronicles--the Bestselling Science Fiction Adventure of All Time

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...

Lost the flair of the first book. All of Chani’s depth went out the window—all she was in this book was Paul’s concubine and mother of his children. Still had an interesting plot though.

This book feels like when Mike Breen said BAAAAANNNGGGG after that Ray Allen 3. I’m telling you it’s better than the first.

Dune 2 Paul Atreides is now the emperor of the known universe, his concubine Chani gives birth to twins, and his jihad continues to kill billions. (Once you realize Dune doesn't end after book 1, you'll never want to stop!)
