Dune Messiah (Dune Chronicles #2)

Book Two in the Magnificent Dune Chronicles — the Bestselling Science Fiction Adventure of All Time.

Paul Atreides has achieved everything he set out to accomplish. Now, 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. Even as House Atreides begins to crumble from the machinations of his enemies, the true threat strikes closest to home: at his lover Chani, and the unborn heir to his family's dynasty.

Darker and more introspective than Dune, Dune Messiah is a masterful examination of the price of power, the burden of prophecy, and the tragedy of a hero who cannot escape his own legend.
