APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This controversial science fiction classic—the second book in Frank Herbert’s legendary Dune series—is epic, exciting, and challenging. Paul Atreides led the Fremen people’s successful rebellion against the unscrupulous noble houses that long controlled their resource-rich planet of Arrakis. Now, thanks to an ancient prophecy about a freedom-fighting leader, Paul rules the entire intergalactic empire. As soon as this fascinating story begins, the tension mounts as new revelations give rise to doubt and conspiracies. Dune Messiah is packed with heady and complex sci-fi elements, from technology that seems to resurrect the dead to Paul’s powerful but increasingly maddening prescience. Veteran narrator Scott Brick has all the gravity and charisma that an epic like this deserves. Should one man wield infinite power? Even one as worthy as Paul? This story will leave you questioning everything about Herbert’s universe—and our own.
