Book Reviews of Dune Messiah (Dune Chronicles)

Book Review: Brilliant Work!
Summary: 5 Stars

I read this book the first time when I was a freshman in college. I didn't care for it much then. To see Paul journey towards death disinterested me. That was before I remembered.....there is no death. My hard back cover is all white with a colorful dust jacket. The quality is the same for all ACE hard back books. The text font is larger than the Dune hard back by the same publisher. This book could have been combined with the book "Dune" and it would have been maybe 150 pages. Over three decades later after the re-read, I actually think this book is better than Dune. I love everything about this book. You could make this the third Testament. Probable selves! Seeing without eyes! 65 billion lives lost in Jihad! The consequences of choices made! The awakening of the Ghola! Frank Herbert's genius is on display in the book! His original name for this book was titled "Fool Saint". The greatest lesson for me in this book is that even with the ability to "see" into the future of infinite probable selves, each choice is made separately within the realm of time and space. There are consequences. Without the physical self of now, "one" gets lost in the past and future. Frank Herbert's philosophy is profound.

Summary of Dune Messiah (Dune Chronicles)

With millions of copies sold worldwide, Frank Herbert's magnificent Dune novels stand among the major achievements of the human imagination as one of the most significant sagas in the history of literary science fiction.

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 Fremens, 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.
