Book Club: Dune Messiah (pg 50–99)

In Dune Messiah, Paul Atreides receives a dangerous gift: Hayt, a Tleilaxu ghola of Duncan Idaho. Abu and Leo cover pages 50 to 99 of Dune Messiah and take a listener's question about why Paul couldn't simply call off the jihad.

Scytale's visit to Farok, a retired jihad commander, turns sinister, though not before the old Fremen describes standing in a sea for the first time. In the Imperial council, Irulan tries the Voice on her husband and Paul explains to Stilgar why he cannot simply look for Tupile. The takeaways dig into Muad'Dib as a living god and the echoes of Duke Leto in his son, and the spice morsels cover face dancers and the rumor that Tleilaxu eyes enslave the people who wear them.

This episode contains NO SPOILERS beyond the books and pages covered thus far.
