Messiah of Dune Frank Herbert
Vol. 2
In this novel, Frank Herbert had the courage to exploit a genre considered by many to be distant from the themes of real life to write a unique story, full of profound social criticism and a stunning topicality.
- Plot The Emperor - God of Dunes Frank Herbert
Twelve years after the victory of the Fremen over the Emperor Padiscià Shaddam IV, Paul Muad'Dib, heir of the Atreides, is still the feared Emperor of the galaxy and rules the universe from his capital on Arrakis. The strength of the myth that surrounds him, however, is undermined by a plot that sees the Bene Gesserit, the Space Guild, the Tleilaxu and some rebel Fremen as protagonists: at the center of the conspiracy is the attempt to weaken his ability to command and make unstable the Atreides dynasty by hindering the birth of an heir. However, the precious gift of foreknowledge gives Paul the awareness that the path to follow is the one indicated by his destiny: to direct his people on a path that takes them away from self-destruction and misery, towards a harmonious and lasting future, a goal which he is willing to achieve even at the cost of his own sacrifice ... The second, thrilling episode of The Dune Cycle, one of the absolute best sellers of world science fiction.
