Welcome to the Doghouse.
Chapter 5: The Council of Muad'Dib meets to discuss the Tupile Treaty and the request for a constitution from the Ixian Confederacy. The interactions of this Council show some of the limitations of Atreides prescience, yet Paul's supposed Godhood has brought about real changes in some of his most trusted Fremen. Stilgar has become a bureaucrat while Korba the Death Commando has become a Priest. How ridiculous.
Alia provokes both Irulan and Korba, and Paul questions this, realizing that she is as appalled by the Jihad as he is. And Korba appears in a certain light to Stilgar...another mythological overlay from the classical world?
We'll be talking about another prisoner of Tartarus, namely Ixion, and how this overlays on Korba.

It will be fun and very detailed and so I hope you can join me and my very Dune savvy audience for this book club.
Best regards
Doc
