Currently reading the book, and the second paragraph already had some spoilers so be aware if you are planning on reading it and haven't yet!
- cgriswald 7y agoI've read Dune itself at least a dozen times, and the series as a whole three or four times, so maybe I'm just "Dune-blind", but I've gone over the second paragraph three times now and I can't see a spoiler. I think the synopsis on Amazon has more in the way of spoilers, tbh.
- soperj 7y agoIt's about what Space Guild uses melange for.
- baud147258 7y agoIs it even a spoiler? I read the books a few years ago, but I think it wasn't exactly treated as a secret or something that would spoil your enjoyment of the story if you know about it beforehand.
- cgriswald 7y agoNow that the GP pointed it out, I think it is a bit of a spoiler, but I can't really say why without more spoilers. That said, I agree, it probably won't affect a reading much, if at all.
- lrem 7y agoWell, the guild was apparently rather secretive. At the very beginning Paul, upon entering the heighliner says he might be lucky to see a guildsman... To which the Duke (or Yueh? Some other caregiver?) responds with panicked hushing.

- kentrado 7y agoIt isn't a spoiler at all. I begun to notice that this new generation is getting overly sensitive about "spoilers" to the point you can't discuss any element of some work of art without being accused of spoiling something. It isn't a spoiler that melange is used to make interstellar travel possible just like it isn't a spoiler that Ned Stark is married to Caytlin Stark.
- acollins1331 7y agoEven the first sentence of the paragraph is a spoiler. That's part of all the big reveals at the end of Book 1 (the mini-book inside Dune)
