Dune

Livre suivant, Le Messie de Dune : https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... Il n'y a pas, dans tout l'Empire, de planète plus inhospitalière que Dune. Partout des sables à perte de vue. Une seule richesse : l'épice de longue vie, née du désert, et que tout l'univers convoite. Quand Leto Atréides reçoit Dune en fief, il flaire le piège. Il aura besoin des guerriers Fremen qui, réfugiés au fond du désert, se sont adaptés à une vie très dure en préservant leur liberté, leurs coutumes et leur foi. Ils rêvent du prophète qui proclamera la guerre sainte et changera le cours de l'histoire. Cependant les Révérendes Mères du Bene Gesserit poursuivent leur programme millénaire de sélection génétique ; elles veulent créer un homme qui concrétisera tous les dons latents de l'espèce. Le Messie des Fremen est-il déjà né dans l'Empire ?

Paul Atréides a triomphé de ses ennemis. En douze ans de guerre sainte, ses Fremen ont conquis l'univers. Il est devenu l'empereur Muad'hib. Presque un Dieu, puisqu'il voit l'avenir. Ses ennemis, il les connaît. Il sait quand et comment ils frapperont. Ils vont essayer de lui reprendre l'épice qui donne la prescience et peut-être de percer le secret de son pouvoir. Il peut déjouer leurs plans. Mais il voit plus loin encore. Il sait que tous les futurs possibles mènent au désastre. Il est hanté par la vision de sa propre mort. Et s'il n'avait le choix qu'entre plusieurs suicides ? Et s'il ruinait son œuvre en matant ses ennemis ? Peut-être n'y a-t-il pour le prescient pas d'autre liberté que celle du sacrifice...

Sur Dune, le temps de l'accomplissement des anciennes prophéties est venu. La transformation écologique s'accélère : le désert devient jardin, menaçant les vers des sables et la précieuse Epice. L'héritage de Paul Muad'Dib est un empire conquis, mais ébranlé par le Jihad. Pour régner à leur tour sur Dune, les jumeaux Leto et Ghanima devront survivre aux complots qui les visent et à l'Abomination qui frappe leur tante Alia
