Dune Messiah

Being a fan of the Dune universe, especially the PC game Dune2, I started reading Dune, by Frank Herbert, again.

Dune Messiah is the second book in the series, but Dune Messiah was the last book I finished, so I'll comment on it.

Dune Messiah continues the story of House Atreides and their struggles on the planet Arrakis, also known as Dune. Paul Atreides has become one of the nomadic people indigenous to Dune, called the Fremen. He has also become Emperor of the known universe. He has the ability to see the future, and feels helpless to change it.

I like this book because it has a compelling story that explores the effects of politics in ordinary and extraordinary lives, how the choices of peoples affects others, and has lots of details.

I like big.....for lack of a better word: universes. Complexities. Like Dune, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and/or Star Trek. Places where a lot of events can happen, lots of characters can interact, and a lot of history can be talked about. This one certainly delivers all of those things.
