About the book:
The direct sequel to Dune, and its deliberate counter-narrative: Herbert spends this novel dismantling the messiah myth he built in the first book.
Twelve years after the first book ends, Paul Atreides has become the thing he should have feared. His jihad has killed sixty-one billion people across the known universe. He can see almost every possible future which means he can see exactly how trapped he is. Prescience, it turns out, is not power. It is a cage, and the longer your sight, the smaller the cage becomes.
Darker, more political, and more interested in the costs of prophecy than the adventure of fulfilling it. Herbert wrote this because readers of Dune had missed the point they'd cheered for Paul when they should have been appalled. Messiah is the correction.
Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what Herbert was actually doing with the series.
