Dune Messiah, part one: Takin' a dip in the spice tank!

We are back after a short 12-year break after reading Dune and we sure hope everything is good in the universe and that Paul hasn't caused any absolutely brutal devastation across hundreds of planets!!! This week we dive into Edric's spice tank to talk about the first half of Dune Messiah! We catch up with Paul Atreides twelve years into his rule as Emperor and it is starting to feel like maybe he isn't the good guy. Conspiracies abound within the Bene Gesserit, the Spacing Guild, and between Paul's family and friends and Princess Irulan.
