Folio Society: Dune Messiah

Always gorgeous, The Folio Society have some new titles coming and following on from their release of DUNE, which coincided with the latest movie version, they are releasing DUNE MESSIAH,

Discover the true scope of Frank Herbert’s vision in Dune Messiah, the epic second act in the classic sci-fi saga, presented in a cinematic illustrated edition.

The second instalment of one of the most important sci-fi visions of the 20th century is presented in a unique illustrated edition from Folio.

Paul Atreides has been Emperor of the Known Universe for
twelve troubled years. He is the most formidable being in the universe, yet powerless to stop the catastrophic galaxy-wide war triggered by his ascension to the throne. Paul’s sweeping, tragic saga is illustrated by award-winning artist – and self-confessed Dune superfan – Hilary Clarcq.

This edition also includes Herbert’s elusive ‘Death Cell Interview’ prologue, a dramatic recap of the first book that he wrote for the first UK edition of Dune Messiah in 1971 and has appeared sporadically in versions ever since.

Whether you’re familiar with Dune from the classic novel or the blockbuster movies, the Folio edition of Dune Messiah is the vital next step in your journey.
