Deeper into the melodramatic world of Paul's empire do we go in this, the second installment of our Dune Messiah read through. We discuss chapters 4 - 7, in which (young) warrior goddess Alia makes eyes at the new eyeless ghoula in town, Scylatle engages in intrigue on three or four levels at once, and the suggestion of brother/sister incest is bandied about. It's getting SOAPY! We're here for it. Just don't ask Paul how his powers work. Seriously, the guy is really weird about it. 

As always, shoot as an email if the atonal semuta music moves you ([email protected]). Otherwise, we'll be back next week with chapters 8 - 11!
