Title : The Dune Cycle, Volume II - Frank Herbert - book

Summary :

Paul Atreides has just turned fifteen. The Reverend Mothers are watching him: he comes from a selected lineage and has shown extraordinary gifts since childhood. Could he be the superman predicted by their genetic program? Leto, Paul's father, is related to the emperor; the latter gives him Dune, the sand planet, which produces the spice of long life. The Harkonnen, his old enemies, will set a fatal trap for him. Paul flees into the desert to the Fremen, these nomads hardened by hardship and sustained by a fierce faith. A faith that the young man will galvanize to prepare his revenge. But can destiny be fulfilled without a terrible carnage? The Reverend Mothers have been selecting lineages for millennia, and the impending chaos risks mixing all bloodlines in disorder. The Fremen Messiah, it is said, has the power to read the future. Will he have the power to avoid it? Frank Herbert (1920-1986) entered the legend with Dune, an immense fresco in which he brings to life an entire universe in the style of War and Peace, with a breath, a visionary breadth and an intimate communion with extraordinary characters that have fascinated generations of readers.
