A noble family becomes embroiled in a war for control over the galaxy's most valuable asset while its heir becomes troubled by visions of a dark future. However, the Bene Gesserit have a secret, centuries-old breeding program to create a prescient superhuman — and male equivalent of a Reverend Mother — called the Kwisatz Haderach, who would not only be able to survive The Agony, but whose “organic mental powers would bridge space and time”. Paul ascends in power of his messianic control over Arrakis and the spice establishing a new kind of power over the Empire which will change the face of the known universe.
