Product Description
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 tale 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 starts to crumble around him from the machinations of his enemies, the right threat to Paul comes to his lover, Chani, and the unborn heir to his family tree’s period.

I am NOT a “Dune” (or sci-fi) fanboy. I like a well written book with a excellent plot, but am not genre point. I am 36 years ancient and read “Dune” for the first time a month ago. It is a very excellent book. The Greatest Sci-Fi novel ever? I’m sceptical of that aver, but I would recommend it to anyone who likes a very excellent, intelligent, action-packed adventure novel.
“Dune Messiah”, on the additional hand, is nearly a travesty – MASSIVELY underwhelming. There is virtually no action in this one. Just a bunch of crusty middle aged people talking…and talking…and talking. Though the ending is satisfying, and there is something nearly resembling action at about the 250 page mark, it is otherwise devoid of excitement.
Reading this book was like being the only sober college student in a room filled with pot-smoking philosophy majors. The same points get repeated over and over again, until you can bearly stand it. There ARE some appealing thoughts in this book (particularly about how extraordinary men and their actions are twisted to serve the purposes of their warped followers, a la Jesus Christ), and dozens of wonderful lines to quote, but not nearly enough to justify it’s 300+ page part. It is nearly necessary to read, since it does perfect the tale of Paul Atreides, but it would have been so much more bearable if it had been half the part.
I will NOT be reading any more Dune books, as the all-purpose consensus is that each sequel is progressively worse than the one before. I judge it now.

Seller advertised it was ‘used–very excellent” when in fact it is ‘used-honest’…the book is very worn. I regret doing business with this person.

Sure, not much happens in the book in terms of war and political intrigue, but this book really tells you who the people really are and how they reflect. I really felt sorry for Alia and Paul, and I learned how must it suck to have their powers. I loved it.
