An excerpt from Dune: Fremen Justice

No bright light, no sign of guards. Crawling into the hole, Stilgar stretched a leg down and located a rough ledge, where he rested his boot. With his other foot he found a second ledge, and below that another. Steps going down. Ahead, he discerned low yellow light where the tunnel sloped to the right. He backed up and raised a hand, summoning the others to follow.

On the floor at the base of the rough steps he found an old serving bowl. Tugging off his nose plugs, he smelled raw meat. Bait for small predators? An animal trap? He froze, looking for sensors. Had he already tripped a silent alarm? He heard footsteps ahead, and a drunken voice. "Got another one. Blow it to kulon-hell."

Stilgar and two Fremen darted into a side tunnel and drew their milky crysknives. Maula pistols would be far too noisy in these enclosed spaces. When a pair of Harkonnen guards blundered past them, reeking of spice beer, Stilgar and his comrade Turok darted out and grabbed them from behind.

Before the hapless men could cry out, the Fremen slit their throats.

"Becoming a successful writer is like making the Olympic Team—you have to devote your life to it, practice constantly, improve your skills, and hope you make the cut. Nobody ever said it would be easy. " Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson
