Why Dune Messiah is even better than Dune

Like millions of other people I’m a huge fan of Frank Herbert’s Dune. I’m one of those fans who loves the David Lynch movie, who was desperate for the TV show to continue on through the whole series – even though it wasn’t the greatest of adaptations – and I played the video games to death. For sheer depth of history and mythology, the Dune Universe is arguably second only to Middle Earth. Some say that Herbert’s creation should be called fantasy, while others maintain that it is absolute science fiction. Personally, I think the amalgam science fantasy fits it the best, but as much as I love Dune, it isn’t my favourite book in the series.
