Overview
Leto Atreides, el hijo de Paul –el mesías de una religión que arrasó el universo, el mártir que, ciego, se adentró en el desierto para morir–, tiene ahora nueve años. Pero es mucho más que un niño, porque en él laten miles de vidas que lo arrastran a su destino. Él y su hermana gemela, bajo la regencia de su tía Alia, gobiernan un planeta que se ha convertido en el eje de todo el universo.
En este planeta, centro de las intrigas de la clase política y sometido a una sofocante burocracia religiosa, aparece un predicador ciego procedente del desierto. ¿Es realmente Paul Atreides, que regresa de entre los muertos para advertir a la humanidad del peligro más abominable?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A deluxe edition of Children of Dune, book 3 in the Magnificent Dune Chronicles—the Bestselling Science Fiction Adventure of All Time
The Children of Dune are twin siblings Leto and Ghanima Atreides, whose father, the Emperor Paul Muad’Dib, disappeared in the desert wastelands of Arrakis nine years ago.

The displaced House Corrino is plotting to regain the throne while the fanatical Fremen are being provoked into open revolt by the enigmatic figure known only as The Preacher. Alia believes that by obtaining the secrets of the twins’ prophetic visions, she can maintain control over her dynasty.
But Leto and Ghanima have their own plans for their visions—and their destinies....
