Sandworms of Dune - Entry #9

Who is the Kwisatz Haderach the prophecies speak of that will emerge at the End Times?
     A key turned in Sheeana's mind, unlocking other thoughts.  Perhaps in the solemn twelve-year-old Leto, the thinking machines had a blind spot!  Could he be the final Kwisatz Haderach they sought?  Had Omnius even considered the possibility that the machines might have the wrong one?  Her pulse quickened.  Prophecies were notorious for misdirection.  Maybe Erasmus had missed the obvious!  She could hear the inner voice of Serena Butler laughing at the possibility, and she allowed herself to cling to a tiny kernel of hope.
(Sandworms of Dune, pp. 414 - 415)
