ReviewsPraise 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.

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

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...
