The epic, multimillion-selling science-fiction series continues! The second Dune installment explores new developments on the planet Arrakis, with its intricate social order and strange, threatening environment.

Dune Messiah picks up the story of the man known as Muad'Dib, heir to a power unimaginable, bringing to fruition an ambition of unparalleled scale: the centuries-old scheme to create a superbeing who reigns not in the heavens but among men.

But the question is: DO all paths of glory lead to the grave?

An interesting book.

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 31 August 2022

Well there are so many reviews that this books isnt worth it. But in my opinion it's quite good. Opens the political landscape of the muadibs empire. Interesting to people who are into actually experiencing the Dune. Filled with politics conspiracy and espionage. If you are expecting a lot of fighting and heroics like the first book, this isn't for you.

Truly one of the best sci-fi series

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 30 August 2022

The 2nd book acted as a bridge for the 1st and 3rd book.
Thus bridge was not prominent and flashy but important for the series to continue.

Underwhelming

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 23 July 2022

Even if you like the first book, think twice before getting hands on this one. It has its moments and a few good characters but it skips over (timeskip) all the good stuff that the first book promised.

Read immediately after finishing dune

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 8 January 2022

Verified Purchase

"Read immediately after dune as a continuation" - Thank goodness that I listened to this advice.
This is a long epilogue & conclusion to Paul's story. It can feel anticlimactic if the events of dune are not fresh in your memory.
But the book is very satisfying for a dune fan as it gives an unusual "happily ever after" who wonders what happened after the events of dune.

Poor quality binding and paper

The quality of book is pathetic. The binding gave away on opening the book. Paper quality is also bad. Do not buy any books from Amazon.

Well packaged and quick delivery

You shouldn't read Amazon reviews for any book as if it's a book review. For that there are sites like Good Reads.

I read the first Dune book and I can 100% recommend it in a heartbeat. The first Dune book is a masterpiece.
I bought this to continue the saga.

Review:
- The product was well packaged and came undamaged. No corners were bent and no scratches on the book were present.
- Quick delivery as usual.
- The cover of the book is beautiful and has a matte finish and is thick enough to not turn into dust while reading it.
- Print quality and font size is decent.
- Book is almost 60% the size of the first book in the series by same publisher.
- Price was very good at ₹560.
- Bought from Bookswagon.

Overall: Easily recommended to buy from Bookswagon or any other seller here. Just look at the seller reviews before you buy.

Read this immediately after Dune

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 5 December 2019

Verified Purchase

This second book in the Dune trilogy polarises people. I confess when I first read this back in 1979 about a year after reading Dune for the first time I didn't particularly like it because it is very different, yes same characters, locations etc.. but the story line is not the same fast paced action and eventual results you hope for for the main character Paul. Having now just read Dune again 40 years later immediately followed by Dune Messiah I now get it, it can't be the same as Dune as it wouldn't work as a book. Dune is about change and the excitement of that happening, Messiah is about the consequences of that change and having to deal with the awful reality of it all, so its a bit bleak at times but reading it straight away after Dune was important to me as it felt like the conclusion to Paul's Dune experience. Do I like it, sort of, well maybe but it makes sense and anything is difficult to compare with Dune so I guess I do like it.

Very disapointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 February 2019

Verified Purchase

I loved the first book "Dune", but this sequel is terrible. In the first book our characters did things and made decisions. Some turned out well. This is the basic structure of a story.

In this book our main protagonist can see the future, he spends the entire book refusing to do anything at all (apart from be sad about what is going to happen) because he can see that doing something to protect himself from the bad stuff that is coming will make it worse. No explanation (other than "he can see the future") is ever offered for why acting in his own defence would make things worse. We spent the entire book waiting for the thing every character knows is coming to happen (but of course the audience is left in the dark about what is comming). Then not much happens.

If you liked "Dune" then show it the respect it deserves, by never touching this horrid sequel.

New edition from 2018/2019 by Hodder publishing contains typos which is a disgrace for such a book. I love the story, but the publisher made mistakes which shouldnt be accepted by any professional

Great book, terrible edition

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 April 2021

Verified Purchase

The book is great... brilliant plays of tension and deceit, and the inner monologues of each character really deepen the intrigue.

I’m giving this only 3 stars because of this particular edition - FAR too many typos! At one point I was coming across one on every page. Totally distracting and takes you out of the flow. Missing full stops, “Iruian”, “Lannerjee”, “kwlsatz haderach”... pretty appalling for a book that’s been around for decades and read by millions.

Typos every 3/4 pages

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 March 2021

Verified Purchase

The story is rather slow, and the supporting characters are not as interesting as in the first Dune novel. However despite being slow in plot and pacing, Herbert spends a lot of time exploring Pauls thoughts and psyche. For this I would give the book 3 stars.

However I have to further rate it down due to the number of typos and grammatical errors in the 2017 Hodder & Stoughton publication edition that I received. Every 3/4 pages there is a misspelling, punctuation missing, etc. These would normally be only a small gripe, but due to the frequency which they occur they started taking me out of the story as I couldnt help but notice them. For such a large publishing company such as Hodder, this is really not good enough.
