Berkley Medallion Edition of Dune Messiah; Signed by Frank Herbert

Berkley Medallion edition of the second book in Herbert's classic Dune series. Octodecimo, original pictorial wrappers. Boldly signed by Frank Herbert on the title page beneath his name. In very good condition.

An epic of imperial intrigue, Dune Messiah carries on the monumental story begun in Dune, which won the Nebula and Hugo awards. Paul "Muad'Dib" Atreides has become the most powerful emperor ever known, but is powerless to stop the lethal excesses of the religious juggernaut he has created. Although 61 billion people have perished, Paul's prescient visions indicate that this is far from the worst possible outcome for humanity. Motivated by this knowledge, Paul hopes to set humanity on a course that will not inevitably lead to stagnation and destruction, while at the same time acting as ruler of the empire and focal point of the Fremen religion. "Brilliant ... It was all that Dune was, and maybe a little more" (Galaxy Magazine).
