What The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy, Dune is to science fiction. Presenting Dune Messiah, the sequel to one of the most influential works of all time, which has inspired countless other stories for more than half a century, this is an awe-inspiring world, and a story of truly epic scope.
'An astonishing science fiction phenomenon' WASHINGTON POST
Paul Atreides has succeeded in his crusade against House Harkonnen and Emperor Shaddam IV himself, but his victory has had profound consequences. War has been brought to the entire known universe, and billions have already perished.
While former allies conspire to remove him from the throne, Paul accepts a gift from the Tleilaxu, a guild of genetic manipulators, hoping to find a single spark of peace and friendship amidst the betrayal and chaos around him. But this act may cost him the support of the Fremen, his most ardent supporters, and threaten the very existence of his new empire.
As matters escalate, Paul will be forced to choose between his throne, his wife, his people and his future - and determine the fate of the entire universe.
Read the series which inspired the Academy Award-winning and jaw-dropping cinematic events Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024). A science fiction spectacular like no other, this is a deeply climate conscious novel, and a compelling family saga for the ages.

Biography
Frank Herbert, 1920 in Tacoma, Washington, geboren, arbeitet als Austerntaucher, TV-Kameramann, Rundfunktsprecher und Journalist. 1963 wird der erste Teil seines SF-Romans Dune, zu deutsch "Der Wüstenplanet", veröffentlicht. Der dritte Teil, der 1976 erscheint, gerät aufgrund von Mundpropaganda bis in die Bestsellerlisten von Publishers Weekly. Nach der Verfilmung durch David Lynch 1984 werden die Dune-Bände zum Weltbestseller. Der Band seiner gesammelten Erzählungen beweist, daß er auch ein Meister der kurzen Form ist. Frank Herbert stirbt am 11. Februar 1986.More from Frank Herbert
