Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert (Dune, Book 2)
Paul Atreides has conquered an empire. Known and feared as Muad'Dib, the man who led the desert Fremen to galactic dominion, he now wields more power than any single mortal was ever meant to command. Worshipped as a religious icon by fanatical billions, Paul sits upon the throne of the Known Universe itself. Yet power—absolute, unchecked power—is a cage as much as a crown. While Paul rules from his seat of authority, the great Houses he displaced conspire against him. Former allies circle like predators, seeking his downfall. Enemies conduct their machinations within his own sphere of influence, striking at the very heart of House Atreides. And even as the empire he built begins to crumble around him, an even darker threat emerges—one that touches his beloved Chani and threatens the unborn heir to his dynasty.
Paul Atreides has succeeded in his crusade against House Harkonnen and Emperor Shaddam IV himself, but his victory has had profound and terrible consequences. War has consumed the entire known universe, and billions have already perished in his name. Desperate for peace amidst the betrayal and chaos, Paul accepts a mysterious gift from the Tleilaxu, a sinister guild of genetic manipulators. But this act may cost him the support of the Fremen—his most ardent supporters and the true foundation of his power—and threaten the very existence of his empire. As conspiracies tighten and stakes rise, Paul will be forced to choose between his throne, his wife, his people and his future, determining the fate of the entire universe itself. What The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy, Dune is to science fiction—an awe-inspiring world and a story of truly epic scope. "An astonishing science fiction phenomenon." — The Washington Post
