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...
