Children of Dune by Frank Herbert - 624 pages
Children of Dune opens nine years after Messiah and Muad'Dib's exile. The desert planet of Arrakis has started to become greener; its people evolving to live in cities. The old ways of the Fremen are starting to die out. The Atreides twins, Leto II and Ghanima, are hyper-mature for their age and are working to clean up the mess left by their family. Leto experiences prescience like their father and he realizes that the new terraforming of Arrakis will be the extinction of the sandworms --- the providers of the spice drug everyone in the galaxy needs to live. Leto eventually discovers what he needs to do to complete the Golden Path that his father failed to live up to, potentially saving the galaxy from utter devastation.
