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...

Review

Praise for Dune Messiah

"Brilliant...it is all that Dune was, and maybe a little more."--Galaxy Magazine

"The perfect companion piece to Dune...fascinating."--Challenging Destiny

Praise for Dune

"I know nothing comparable to it except Lord of the Rings."--Arthur C. Clarke

"A portrayal of an alien society more complete and deeply detailed than any other author in the field has managed...a story absorbing equally for its action and philosophical vistas."--The Washington Post Book World

"One of the monuments of modern science fiction."--Chicago Tribune

"Powerful, convincing, and most ingenious."--Robert A. Heinlein

"Herbert's creation of this universe, with its intricate development and analysis of ecology, religion, politics and philosophy, remains one of the supreme and seminal achievements in science fiction."--Louisville Times

From the Back Cover

With millions of copies sold worldwide, Frank Herbert's magnificent Dune books stand among the major achievements of the human imagination.

Set on the desert planet Arrakis -- a world as fully real and rich as our own -- Dune Messiah continues the story of the man Muad'Dib, heir to a power unimaginable, bringing to completion the centuries-old scheme to create a superbeing...

Pure nonsense, a waste of time

Reviewed in Australia on 6 April 2020

Verified Purchase

An utter waste of time. Kept reading out of a sense that it *had* to get better because Dune was such a classic. But in the end this book is drivel from start to finish. Much of it totally unintelligible garbage about prophecy and fatalism. I wish a prophet had told me how much I would regret wasting my time with this terrible book.

Good read

These Dune novels all drop 1 star as your progress through the series imo.
I gave Dune 1 four stars, no 2 gets 3 stars and so on.
The author just runs out of good ideas but milks the series for all it's worth.

It is a classic novel that all nerds should read. What more to say.

Read this immediately after Dune

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2019

Verified Purchase

This second book in the Dune trilogy polarises people. I confess when I first read this back in 1979 about a year after reading Dune for the first time I didn't particularly like it because it is very different, yes same characters, locations etc.. but the story line is not the same fast paced action and eventual results you hope for for the main character Paul. Having now just read Dune again 40 years later immediately followed by Dune Messiah I now get it, it can't be the same as Dune as it wouldn't work as a book. Dune is about change and the excitement of that happening, Messiah is about the consequences of that change and having to deal with the awful reality of it all, so its a bit bleak at times but reading it straight away after Dune was important to me as it felt like the conclusion to Paul's Dune experience. Do I like it, sort of, well maybe but it makes sense and anything is difficult to compare with Dune so I guess I do like it.

Very disapointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 February 2019

Verified Purchase

I loved the first book "Dune", but this sequel is terrible. In the first book our characters did things and made decisions. Some turned out well. This is the basic structure of a story.

In this book our main protagonist can see the future, he spends the entire book refusing to do anything at all (apart from be sad about what is going to happen) because he can see that doing something to protect himself from the bad stuff that is coming will make it worse. No explanation (other than "he can see the future") is ever offered for why acting in his own defence would make things worse. We spent the entire book waiting for the thing every character knows is coming to happen (but of course the audience is left in the dark about what is comming). Then not much happens.

If you liked "Dune" then show it the respect it deserves, by never touching this horrid sequel.

New edition from 2018/2019 by Hodder publishing contains typos which is a disgrace for such a book. I love the story, but the publisher made mistakes which shouldnt be accepted by any professional

Great book, terrible edition

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2021

Verified Purchase

The book is great... brilliant plays of tension and deceit, and the inner monologues of each character really deepen the intrigue.

I’m giving this only 3 stars because of this particular edition - FAR too many typos! At one point I was coming across one on every page. Totally distracting and takes you out of the flow. Missing full stops, “Iruian”, “Lannerjee”, “kwlsatz haderach”... pretty appalling for a book that’s been around for decades and read by millions.

Typos every 3/4 pages

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2021

Verified Purchase

The story is rather slow, and the supporting characters are not as interesting as in the first Dune novel. However despite being slow in plot and pacing, Herbert spends a lot of time exploring Pauls thoughts and psyche. For this I would give the book 3 stars.

However I have to further rate it down due to the number of typos and grammatical errors in the 2017 Hodder & Stoughton publication edition that I received. Every 3/4 pages there is a misspelling, punctuation missing, etc. These would normally be only a small gripe, but due to the frequency which they occur they started taking me out of the story as I couldnt help but notice them. For such a large publishing company such as Hodder, this is really not good enough.
