“
They
are
my
own
hooks
,
”
Shishakli
said
in
a
husky
voice
.
“
They
never
have
failed
.
”
Paul
nodded
,
maintaining
the
necessary
silence
,
moved
past
the
man
and
up
the
dune
slope
.
At
the
crest
,
he
glanced
back
,
saw
the
troop
scattering
like
a
flight
of
insects
,
their
robes
fluttering
.
He
stood
alone
now
on
the
sandy
ridge
with
only
the
horizon
in
front
of
him
,
the
flat
and
unmoving
horizon
.
This
was
a
good
dune
Stilgar
had
chosen
,
higher
than
its
companions
for
the
viewpoint
vantage
.
Stooping
,
Paul
planted
the
thumper
deep
into
the
windward
face
where
the
sand
was
compacted
and
would
give
maximum
transmission
to
the
drumming
.
Then
he
hesitated
,
reviewing
the
lessons
,
reviewing
the
life
-
and
-
death
necessities
that
faced
him
.
When
he
threw
the
latch
,
the
thumper
would
begin
its
summons
.
Across
the
sand
,
a
giant
worm
—
a
maker
—
would
hear
and
come
to
the
drumming
.
With
the
whiplike
hook
-
staffs
,
Paul
knew
,
he
could
mount
the
maker
’
s
high
curving
back
.
For
as
long
as
a
forward
edge
of
a
worm
’
s
ring
segment
was
held
open
by
a
hook
,
open
to
admit
abrasive
sand
into
the
more
sensitive
interior
,
the
creature
would
not
retreat
beneath
the
desert
.
It
would
,
in
fact
,
roll
its
gigantic
body
to
bring
the
opened
segment
as
far
away
from
the
desert
surface
as
possible
.
I
am
a
sandrider
,
Paul
told
himself
.
He
glanced
down
at
the
hooks
in
his
left
hand
,
thinking
that
he
had
only
to
shift
those
hooks
down
the
curve
of
a
maker
’
s
immense
side
to
make
the
creature
roll
and
turn
,
guiding
it
where
he
willed
.
He
had
seen
it
done
.
He
had
been
helped
up
the
side
of
a
worm
for
a
short
ride
in
training
.
The
captive
worm
could
be
ridden
until
it
lay
exhausted
and
quiescent
upon
the
desert
surface
and
a
new
maker
must
be
summoned
.
Once
he
was
past
this
test
,
Paul
knew
,
he
was
qualified
to
make
the
twenty
-
thumper
journey
into
the
southland
—
to
rest
and
restore
himself
—
into
the
south
where
the
women
and
the
families
had
been
hidden
from
the
pogrom
among
the
new
palmaries
and
sietch
warrens
.
He
lifted
his
head
and
looked
to
the
south
,
reminding
himself
that
the
maker
summoned
wild
from
the
erg
was
an
unknown
quantity
,
and
the
one
who
summoned
it
was
equally
unknown
to
this
test
.
