There is a 6 minute short in the Futurama episode Anthology of Interest II in which the character Fry uses his video game skills to fight an alien invasion. Replace Fry with the less likable Zack Lightman and pad it out to 355 pages and you have Armada. The story borrows heavily from The Last Star...
Zach is a teenager who like games and science fiction. Like a lot of geek, he is not popular in school. He has lost his father when he was still a baby. He loves his mom and is aimless. Then his daydream came true. The UFO and alien invasion is coming. The video games are just simulator f...
What takes me so long to read this! That's limited to persons who watch Science fiction movies a lot. Not as much as the main character Zack but close. And game playing. The setup is good as it is about fantasy, not just in US but in Japan, when the world is in danger and only a teenager o...
Seriously, the concept of this book is amazing and I was really excited about it. It is full of references and I felt myself smiling so many times. There were also naturally some references I did not get, but that was not a problem for me. I am not a hardcore gamer, but I do love video games and pop...
I was seriously concerned that I would get more of the same in 'Armada' that I had 'Ready Player One'. I was sort've justified, but that doesn't mean that 'Armada' doesn't have a lot to offer.Zack Lightman is obsessed with video games, particularly Armada, a game where one pilots fighter ships in sp...
A fantastic book full of references, gaming, aliens, and much much more!I first read, or I should say tried to read this one, on my e-reader, but this one just suffered the same fate as a lot of my ebooks. I couldn't get through the book and didn't like it. Can you imagine how sad I was, because I j...

I think Armada suffers the same problem that plagues Go Tell a Watchman (well, one of them anyway... it doesn't suffer from the whole questionable publication situation). Ready Player One was an outstanding debut, and did magnificently well even with catering strongly to specific audiences. In com...
What a disappointment. I was really excited to read Armada. Ever since I've read Ready Player One, I was a fan of Ernest Cline. I really enjoyed the story, characters, and writing of his book so I was really excited to read his new book. However, I was greatly disappointed. The first thing that t...
