Publisher's Summary

The epic, multimillion-selling science-fiction series continues! The second Dune installment explores new developments on the planet Arrakis, with its intricate social order and strange, threatening environment.

Dune Messiah picks up the story of the man known as Muad'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?

fitting sequel to Dune!

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 continuation to the first book

If 'Dune' is a dense book to begin with then its sequel, 'Dune Messiah' lives up to the standards of dense but rich storytelling.

'Dune Messiah' shows how the Known Universe, and Dune, has expanded and is flourishing under its new Emperor; the sequel is much more a narrative of the surrounding politics being quite detail-rich.

The narration lacks a certain charm in 'Dune Messiah' although that does not diminish the overall charm of the story itself.

It’s good but leaves a gaping void

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.
