    Dune [trilogy], by Herbert. The later stories are ok, but the
    meat of the adventure is in the 1st three.


    dune tattoo here on my bicep. anyways, those books get really really
    weird and convoluted.

    Haha, yep OK. Assuming high school was a while ago, probably good to
    read The Hobbit again before starting the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

    Not really, lol. Graduated in 2020... Although it does feel like a decade ago at this point!

    "In the year 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy
    in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump
    gates has rendered most forms of transportation-including
    starships-virtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every
    distant planet humankind has settled, is now merely a step away
    from any other. All seems wonderful-until a crashed alien
    spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world
    eighty-nine light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange
    as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat, a
    high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of
    them may not be all they seem. . . ."
