Frank Herbert's Dune ended with Paul Muad?Dib in control of the planet Dune. Herbert?s next Dune book, Dune Messiah, picked up the story several years later after Paul?s armies had conquered the galaxy. But what happened between Dune and Dune Messiah? How did Paul create his empire and become the Messiah? Following in the footsteps of Frank Herbert, New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson are answering these questions in Paul of Dune.

The Muad?Dib?s jihad is in full swing. His warrior legions march from victory to victory. But beneath the joy of victory there are dangerous undercurrents. Paul, like nearly every great conqueror, has enemies--those who would betray him to steal the awesome power he commands. . . .

And Paul himself begins to have doubts: Is the jihad getting out of his control? Has he created anarchy? Has he been betrayed by those he loves and trusts the most? And most of all, he wonders: Am I going mad?

Paul of Dune is a novel everyone will want to read and no one will be able to forget.

Riveting Novel

I have read every single Dune novel in the series and have enjoyed almost all of them for the most part. Paul of Dune is a riveting novel and is a MUST read for any Dune fan. The details in this novel are amazing and the second half is just fantastic. Both Brian and Kevin deserve kudo's for a very well written novel. I will definitely keep reading this series, so long as they keep writing it.


Bravo! Job well done!

I just finished the book and it left me feeling very satisfied. I think it was the most enjoyable from BH and KJA since House Atreides. I feel that the book did a fine job of capturing the spirit of the original while incorporating the authors' own style at the same time. I really felt the shifting between the two timelines lent well to give the reader some insight into the influences on Paul and why he made some of the decisions he did during the Jihad. We also got to learn more about Count Fenring and the Lady Margot, as well as their daughter that was mentioned in the first book and then never further developed by FH. I thought this was a very creative story line and that it fit right in.

Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the Dune Universe.

Wonderful Read!

This book is a fantastic edition to the Dune series. While, I will not go into the actual details that are prevailed in this novel-- seeing that others have already provided most of the parts of the novels, which I found very intriguing. I will say this though, that I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more in the near future.

Better than their latest. Set in the classic Dune timeline

I feel this is much better than many of the newer books in the Dune series. It gets to the core of the Dune saga by focusing on conspiracies involving houses Atreides, Harkonnen, and Corrino.

The book is set in two separate time periods which it moves back and forth between acts.

The first time period is between Dune and Dune Messiah and details the spreading Jihad and Paul struggling with becoming someone he doesn't want to be in order to ensure a particular future. This squares well with the original Herbert books and adds depth to characters, particularly Gurney, Shaddam, and Korba.

The second time period is slightly before the original Dune and focuses on a War of Assassins in which Paul and Duke Leto are targets and gives a little more backstory for Paul.

I enjoyed the book and unlike the later ones in the series (Hunters, Sandworms, etc.) I didn't regret the time I spent reading it.

It could have been better if it had focused only on a single timeframe, but it's still good and reads as several related books in one volume.
