A couple years and a couple movies after I read and adored Dune by Frank Herbert, it was time to go ahead and read the sequel. While it's as touching, gripping, or magical as the original, Dune Messiah gives us more of a philosophical scifi in space opera set mainly on planet Arrakis.
Paul sure as heck becomes the emperor, but he finds it hard to be as good of a man as he had wanted. I imagine it is hard to be a good god, with all the enemies of Good out there. Trusty Stilgar is still around, maybe more important than ever. But what about our beloved heroes who didn't make it to the end of Dune? Will any of them come back to life and make our beloved messianic family feel Weird? I guess you'll have to read it.
