Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert
Paul Atreides, ruler of a thousand planets, great victor of a holy war, prince turned revolutionary leader, messiah of a fanatical religious sisterhood, is to be brought low by the very forces that created him. Yet foreseeing the plans of his enemies, he determines to drive on towards his own, shockingly different, vision of the future. This is the amazing second Dune novel.
'Unique among SF novels.. I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings.' -- Arthur C. Clarke on DUNE 'One of the landmarks of modern science fiction ... an amazing feat of creation.' -- Analog on DUNE
