Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert - 352 pages
Twelve years after Dune, our protagonist, Paul Atreides, has become known to the locals on Arrakis as "Muad'Dib," their emperor and messianic figure. He has conquered most of the known galaxy within his twelve years of ruling. Paul is prescient and can foresee every possible future, which is how he is entrapped by conspirators. Controversy arises from the displaced rulers of the places that Paul has become emperor of, as they have lost all power to the Muad'Dib. Conspiracies to overthrow him as emperor leave him physically blinded and exiled to the deserts of Arrakis, as twin children are born to bear the burden of the Atreides dynasty.
