Praise for Dune Messiah "Brilliant...it is all that Dune was, and maybe a little more."-- Galaxy Magazine "The perfect companion piece to Dune ...fascinating."--Challenging Destiny Praise for Dune "I know nothing comparable to it except Lord of the Rings ."--Arthur C. Clarke "A portrayal of an alien society more complete and deeply detailed than any other author in the field has managed...a story absorbing equally for its action and philosophical vistas."-- The Washington Post Book World "One of the monuments of modern science fiction."-- Chicago Tribune "Powerful, convincing, and most ingenious."--Robert A. Heinlein "Herbert's creation of this universe, with its intricate development and analysis of ecology, religion, politics and philosophy, remains one of the supreme and seminal achievements in science fiction."-- Louisville Times
