I wish to continue the saga.moreġ-23-09 DUNE MESSIAH: Paul is now the Emperor of the universe, and he is worshipped as a God, by all on Dune. Now that I've once again finished these trio of stories, I'll see if I can find my old copy of 'God Emperor.' somewhere. To me, one of the signs of a good book is one's disappointment in finishing because you wish it would continue. Like 'Dune', Herbert weaves threads of religion, ecology, personal relationships and prescience into a compelling (if oft confusing) narrative mostly following the Atreides family. But if you were caught up in Herbert's desert world of Dune, then these 2 additions are a welcome fleshing out of his vision. If you didn't like the original 'Dune', you won't much like these either. 'Dune Messiah' was originally written in 1969 and 'Children of Dune' written in 1976, but I'm looking at the Science Fiction Book Club version that I picked up in 2002 for my son. (Sorry for the pun.) Lik Like 'Dune', I read these 2 sequels many years ago and wanted to re-aquaint myself to the saga.
