![]() ![]() ![]() It's a slow-moving story.most of the action (and there isn't much of it) occurs in the final quarter of the book. For those who desire swashbuckling action, laser battles in space, exploring strange new worlds and menacing merciless malefactors will find this book disappointing.Dune Messiah is mostly conversation and internal dialogue. The story deals with strategems, plots and plots-within-plots. This book wraps up the story of Paul Muad'Dib Atriedes 12 years after the successful war to capture the imperial throne, Paul is dealing (struggling?) with the issues of governance, the imperial succession and plots to overthrow him. First off: if you haven't read/listened to Dune, ignore this book until you've done that. ![]() As is often the case, it does not live up to the high standard of the first installement, but it is still pretty good. Good-not-great book, not as fond of the narrationÄune Messiah is the sequel to Frank Herbert's masterpiece, Dune. ![]()
