BEST ERNEST CLINE BOOKS

For those readers looking to get into novels by Ernest Cline, this section will help with that. It will go over the novels “Ready Player One” and “Armada”.

Ready Player One: This is the first stand alone novel and was released in the year 2011. Reality is quite an awful place in the year 2045. Wade Watts (who is just a teenager) only feels really alive is when he has jacked in OASIS (which is the virtual utopia). It is a great place to escape. Wade spends his time studying every single puzzle that is hidden in the world that come from the creator of the world’s obsession with all the pop culture from the past. They promise all kinds of fortune and power to anyone who should be able to unlock them.

When he finds a clue, Wade finds himself hunted by other players that would be willing to kill him to take away this big prize. He is going to have to win, as the race is on, and he will have to come face to face with the real world, the one he has always wanted to get escape from.

Armada: This is the second stand alone novel and it was released in the year 2015. Zack Lightman’s life is built around dreaming. Mainly that the real world he lives in would be more like all the sci fi books, video games, and films that he consumed throughout his life. He dreams that some great thing would happen to alter this world, taking him to a great space spanning adventure.

There is nothing wrong with some escapism. Zack is sure about the differences between reality and fantasy. The real world never has teenage gamers without ambition and anger problems saving the universe. Then he catches a glimpse of the flying saucer.

This ship, oddly enough, is out of the game he plays every single night; the game is a huge online flight simulator game that is called Armada. The point of the game is that you keep Earth safe from any aliens trying to invade.

Zack has not lost his mind. Impossible though it may seem, it is actually real. His skills, along with millions of other gamers, will be needed to actually save the Earth from what is coming to destroy the world.

Here it is: Zack gets a chance to play hero, but for real this time. Even with all of the excitement and terror, he has a hard time not thinking about all the sci fi stories he grew up on. It makes him think about how the scenario just seems a tad too familiar for him.
