Dune Messiah

Finished reading Dune Messiah yesterday night. The ending blew me off! Dune never fails to amaze and intrigue me.

So Paul Atreides or Muad Dib sort of died, or rather was passed to his son. Now, Paul is his son, and his son is Paul. Wow. Brilliant novel. The son of Paul shall be called Leto for his father's honour and the twin sister, Ghanima.

Towards the end of the novel, I was intrigued by a line. Here's it: We say of Muad Dib that he has gone on a journey into that land where we walk without footprints. -- Preamble to the Qizarate Creed.

Muad Dib, now is omnipotent, ever-powerful. Sheesh, Frank Herbet rocks!

Speaking of which, I need to go burrow the next novel in line to continue this wonderful story, Children of Dune.

I heart Dune! And, Paul Atreides as well.
