Product Information

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF READY PLAYER ONE, NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG PRE-ORDER NOW - READY PLAYER TWO- THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO READY PLAYER ONE _______________________ ' A masterful tale of Earth's desperate struggle against a powerful alien foe.' - Andy Weir, bestselling author of The Martian _______________________ 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. _______________________ Here's what everyone's saying about this epic masterpiece- 'a modern classic' - R.M.

  • A great read for sci-fi 80’s nerds

    Although not as strong at “Ready Player One” this is still a brilliant read. I took it on holiday and couldn’t put it down. It is definitely more geeky than RP1 and you need to be more of a sci-fi nerd as it does go into some explanation about the space ships etc etc which could put a non nerd off. The story is nothing original (it’s a father / son plot line (why does that always happen in space lol)) however it is well paced and the characters are wholly relatable and the descriptions of the places and buildings are believable. My only gripe is that I did feel the story was a little bit twee with its ending. I won’t spoil the ending for anyone but sometimes baddies should be baddies and not turn over a new leaf. That being said, I did like the book and would recommend it.
