Dune Messiah continues the story of Paul Atreides, better known – and feared – as the man christened Muad’Dib. As Emperor of the Known Universe, he possesses more power than a single man was ever meant to wield. Worshipped as a religious icon by the fanatical Fremen, Paul faces the enmity of the political houses he displaced when he assumed the throne – and a conspiracy conducted within his own sphere of influence.

And even as House Atreides begins to crumble around him from the machinations of his enemies, the true threat to Paul is directed against his lover, Chani, and the unborn heir to his family's dynasty …

Meno travolgente del primo capitolo della saga

La scrittura è in alcuni punti ancora più sfumata rispetto a Dune (specie in corrispondenza degli episodi di "prescienza") ma questo rende a parer mio la lettura un po' macchinosa. Nonostante ciò resta un romanzo epico-scifi di valore assoluto, con elementi narrativi che ho trovato molto interessanti ed uno sviluppo dei personaggi quasi impeccabile (forse, solo un po' troppo veloce in alcuni passaggi). Leggerò di sicuro almeno il terzo capitolo.
