Publisher Description
THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF READY PLAYER ONE
It’s just another day of high school for Zack Lightman. He's daydreaming through another boring math class, with just one more month to go until graduation and freedom—if he can make it that long without getting suspended again.
Then he glances out his classroom window and spots the flying saucer.
At first, Zack thinks he’s going crazy.
A minute later, he’s sure of it. Because the UFO he’s staring at is straight out of the videogame he plays every night, a hugely popular online flight simulator called Armada—in which gamers just happen to be protecting the earth from alien invaders.
But what Zack’s seeing is all too real. And his skills—as well as those of millions of gamers across the world—are going to be needed to save the earth from what’s about to befall it.
Yet even as he and his new comrades scramble to prepare for the alien onslaught, Zack can’t help thinking of all the science-fiction books, TV shows, and movies he grew up reading and watching, and wonder: Doesn’t something about this scenario seem a little too… familiar?
Armada is at once a rollicking, surprising thriller, a classic coming of age adventure, and an alien-invasion tale like nothing you’ve ever read before—one whose every page is infused with author Ernest Cline’s trademark pop-culture savvy.
Customer Reviews
Love this book
If you’ve seen the movie but are wondering if it’s worth reading/listening to the book, the answer is yes! Although the movie retains the spirit of the book the two are quite different in many ways.
I throughly enjoyed this original version of the story, it is incredibly well written by Ernest Cline and excellently read by Wil Wheaton.
Can’t wait for Ready Player Two!
Armada
Ernest clien is hands down one of my all time favourite authors, the way he writes is just breathtaking. I am telling you there is absolutely no way this book could disappoint
Loved it!
Cline is really hitting it where it counts in the way of what I enjoy reading. Pop culture nostalgia, geekdom, and more. Truly worth the purchase!!
