About this listen

The bestselling science fiction series of all time continues! Frank Herbert's second installment explores new developments on the desert planet Arrakis, with its intricate social order and its strange threatening environment. Dune Messiah picks up the story of the man known as Maud'dib, heir to a power unimaginable, bringing to fruition an ambition of unparalleled scale: the centuries-old scheme to create a superbeing who reigns not in the heavens but among men. But the question is: Do all paths of glory lead to the grave?

It somehow feels incomplete as a book and more like series of chapters and a whole load of political back and forth, just the right length but left me craving more. Let’s see where the series goes from here.

It’s good but leaves a gaping void

Story is well narrated and well performed but somehow this was not as good as the first 2 Dune book parts. Missed the background effects mostly. Less adventurous but overall a good closure of the lives of characters we know.

Good story for closure

I read the audio book, the narration of this was not as rich as the first book. The story however was smashing.

First book was about survival and Muadib's rise to power, and it was easy to assume the rise will continue. But book 2 does surprise you in many ways. The story is very dense, no wonder the saga goes on for so many books. Must read for folks who loved the movie and the first book.

fitting sequel to Dune!
