DUNE

Arrakis, the desert planet called Dune, has been the site of a terrible war and the source of a merciless holy crusade that swept the Galaxy.  All this has been the result of the ascension to absolute power of the man known as Muad'dib.

The unforgettable human drama at the center of the vast natural and political forces coming to bear on this unique planet is among the most moving in all of the literature of imagination.  DUNE MESSIAH is the story of a man of overawing wisdom who finds himself subject to human - and more than human - frailties.  It is a novel of high adventure and of philosophical and emotional depth.

DUNE MESSIAH is the second novel in Frank Herbert's great trilogy that begins in the most honored of all novels of imagination, DUNE.  The ultimate destiny of this unique world is reached in CHILDREN OF DUNE, which will be published in the spring of 1976.

With millions of copies sold worldwide, Frank Herbert's magnificent Dune books stand among the major achievements of the human imagination.

Set on the desert planet Arrakis - a world as fully real and rich as our own - Dune Messiah continues the story of the man Muad'Dib, heir to a power unimaginable, bringing to completion the centuries-old scheme to create a superbeing...

"Brilliant... it is all that Dune was, and maybe a little more."

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
