This superbeing has come to fruition in Paul Atr�ides now Paul Maud'dib and he must now deal with his role as a sort of living god a Messiah for the Fremen and its implied need for his sacrifice. Paul Atr�ides a triomph� de ses ennemis. En douze ans de guerre sainte ses Fremen ont conquis l'univers. Il est devenu l'empereur Maud'Dib. Presque un Dieu puisqu'il voit l'avenir. Ses ennemis il les conna�t. Il sait quant et comment ils frapperont. Ils vont essayer de lui reprendre l'�pice qui donne la prescience et peut-�tre de percer le secret de son pouvoir. Il peut d�jouer leurs plans. Mais il voit plus loin encore. Il sait que tous les futurs possibles m�nent au d�sastre. Il est hant� par la vision de sa propre mort. Et s'il n'avait le choix qu'entre plusieurs suicides Et s'il ruinait son �uvre en matant ses ennemis Peut-�tre n'y a-t-il pour le prescient pas d'autre libert� que celle du sacrifice. Frank Herbert n� �tats-Unis commence � publier de la science-fiction en 1952.
