Chapter 47

In this chapter, Paul Atreides and his allies observe the arrival of the Emperor's forces and Sardaukar legions on Arrakis, preparing for an imminent battle. They discuss strategic considerations including the use of atomics, the morale and role of the city people, and the political implications of flag signals. The tension builds as Paul contemplates the coming storm—both meteorological and military—and the awakening of the Fremen as a unified people ready to fight for their freedom.
