Paul Atreides sits at the head of an empire and a religion he cannot control twelve years after the events of the first novel, and both are killing people in his name.
Frank Herbert wrote the sequel as a corrective, turning the hero of Dune into a study of what prescience and adoration cost the person carrying them. Conspiracy among the Bene Gesserit, the Tleilaxu and the Spacing Guild drives the plot, but the real pressure comes from Paul's knowledge of where his own choices lead.
What this volume adds:
• The second book in Frank Herbert's Dune sequence
• Empire and holy war examined from the ruler's side
• Conspiracy involving the Guild, the Tleilaxu and the sisterhood
• A shorter, tighter novel than its predecessor
For readers continuing the series and anyone drawn to science fiction about power and its costs, stocked at Boipoka.
