Segundo volume da série iniciada por Duna, esta narrativa se concentra no plano psicológico. Paul Atreides, o messias, é atormentado por dúvidas e visões, submetido à chantagem dos que dele querem arrancar concessões políticas em troca da ressurreição de sua amada, e vê no futuro a morte dos filhos e a loucura sanguinária da Jihad - a guerra santa em nome da qual se mata e destrói.

Such a rich store pf myths enfolds Paul Muad'dib, the Mentat Emperor, and his sister, Alia, it is difficult to see the real persons behind these veils. But there were, after all, a man born Paul Atreides and a woman born Alia. Their flesh was subject to space and time. And even though their oracular powers placed them beyond the usual limits of time and space, they came from human stock. They experienced real events which left traces upon a real universe. To understand them, it must be seen that their catastrophe of all mankind. This work is dedicated, then, not to Muad'dib or his sister, but to thier heirs - to all of us.
