book 3 of The Dune Series

by Frank Herbert

isbn: 0441104029
subject: Fiction and Literature, SF
finished: 1/21/1998

Dune Messiah continued, and almost concluded, the story of Paul Atreides. Appropriately, this book begins the story of his twin children; the focus is Leto's program to become emperor. My favorite scenes are the ones with the Preacher; I think what Herbert did with this character is better than anything else in the Dune series. Children of Dune is very good SF -- fans of the other books will almost certainly like this one.
