Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert (Dune, Book 2)
Twelve years after his triumph over House Harkonnen and the Emperor himself, Paul Atreides rules as the most powerful sovereign in human history from the desert planet Arrakis. Yet his victory has unleashed a terrible reckoning. War has consumed the entire known universe. Billions have perished in his name, swept up in a jihad Paul himself seems powerless to stop. Despite commanding an empire beyond imagination, despite wielding authority that spans galaxies, Paul Atreides cannot bring peace. The prophet has become prisoner to his own legend.
Amidst betrayal and chaos, former allies conspire to dethrone him. Even his own consort, Chani, moves against him in ways he cannot foresee. Desperate for a single spark of peace and friendship, Paul accepts a mysterious gift from the Tleilaxu, a sinister guild of genetic manipulators whose motives remain shrouded in shadow. But this act of hope undermines his support amongst the Fremen—his own people, the true source of his power and the foundation of his empire. Losing them would mean losing everything. As conspiracies tighten and the cost of prophecy becomes unbearable, Paul faces an impossible choice: his throne, his wife, his people, his future—and the future of the entire universe. Frank Herbert's extraordinary sequel to Dune is an epic meditation on the cost of victory and the price of war, exploring the terrible burden of messianic power and the human heart beneath the weight of destiny. "Brilliant... it is all that Dune was, and maybe a little more." — Galaxy Magazine
