Dune Messiah: The exhilarating book which inspired Denis Villeneuve's major blockbuster movie Dune: Part Three
Formats & Editions
Twelve years after his victory over House Harkonnen, Paul Atreides rules as emperor from the desert planet Arrakis - but his victory has had profound consequences. War has been brought to the entire known universe, and billions have already perished. Despite having become the most powerful emperor known to history, Paul is powerless to bring an end to the fighting.
While former allies conspire to dethrone Paul and even his own consort acts against him, Paul accepts a gift from the Tleilaxu, a guild of genetic manipulators, hoping to find a single spark of peace and friendship amidst the betrayal and chaos. But this act undermines Paul's support from the Fremen, his own people. The Fremen are the true source of Paul's power; losing them is the one thing that could truly topple his empire.
As matters escalate, Paul will be forced to choose between his throne, his wife, his people and his future - and the future of the entire universe.
An epic novel of the cost of victory . . . and the price of war.

Praise for Dune Messiah
-
PRAISE FOR DUNE
-
Unique among SF novels . . . I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings.
-
An epic of political betrayal, ecological brinkmanship, and messianic deliverance... a universe of Machiavellian realpolitik, science fiction through the prism of the Cold War. There is little that is cute or cuddly: no furry-footed Hobbits, no teddy-bear-like Ewoks... This is terrain that is familiar to readers of George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire." Herbert's scheming, backstabbing villain, the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, would be perfectly at home among the Lannisters of Westeros
-
One of the landmarks of modern science fiction . . . an amazing feat of creation. - Analog
-
Powerful, convincing, and most ingenious.
-
An astonishing science fiction phenomenon.
-
One of the monuments of modern science fiction.
