Dune Messiah

Autor: Frank Herbert

It is the immediate sequel to the groundbreaking bestseller Dune and the second book in the six-volume Dune saga. The novel shifts focus from the action-adventure and world-building of the first book to a more philosophical and political exploration of power, messianism, and the heavy burden of leadership. The story takes place 12 years after the events of Dune. Paul Atreides (Muad’Dib) has established himself as the Emperor of the known universe, having defeated the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV and the Harkonnens. However, his “holy war” has been a devastating success, leading to billions of deaths across the galaxy in his name, a future he foresaw and desperately tried to prevent.
