Between the end of Frank Herbert's Dune and his next novel, Dune Messiah, lies an intriguing mystery: how a hero adored by a planet became a tyrant hated by a universe.
Paul Atreides is the man who overthrew a corrupt empire and then launched a terrible jihad across the galaxy, shedding the blood of trillions. The now-hated tyrant, the blind Emperor Paul Muad'Dib, has walked off into the endless desert of the planet Arrakis, known as Dune, leaving his turbulent empire without guidance. It's up to his mother, Jessica, with her daughter, Alia, the brave troubadour-warrior Gurney Halleck, the resurrected Duncan Idaho, the Fremen leader Stilgar, as well as Paul's wife-in-name and biographer, Princess Irulan, to try to hold an empire together even as it tears itself apart from within and without.

Critic reviews
"This satisfying tale from Herbert’s son and Anderson follows Jessica, the mother of galactic emperor Paul Atreides.... Fans of the original Dune series will love seeing familiar characters and the narrative voice smoothly evokes the elder Herbert’s style." (Publishers Weekly)
