À propos de cet audio

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A rollicking alien invasion thriller that embraces and subverts science-fiction conventions, from the author of the worldwide phenomenon Ready Player One

“Exciting . . . mixes Star Wars, The Last Starfighter, Independence Day, and a really gnarly round of Space Invaders.”—USA Today

“A thrilling coming of age story.”—Entertainment Weekly

Zack Lightman has never much cared for reality. He vastly prefers the countless science-fiction movies, books, and videogames he's spent his life consuming. And too often, he catches himself wishing that some fantastic, impossible, world-altering event could arrive to whisk him off on a grand spacefaring adventure.

So when he sees the flying saucer, he's sure his years of escapism have finally tipped over into madness.

Especially because the alien ship he's staring at is straight out of his favorite videogame, a flight simulator callled Armada—in which gamers just happen to be protecting Earth from alien invaders.

As impossible as it seems, what Zack's seeing is all too real. And it's just the first in a blur of revlations that will force him to question everything he thought he knew about Earth's history, its future, even his own life--and to play the hero for real, with humanity's life in the balance.

But even through the terror and exhilaration, he can't help thinking: Doesn't something about this scenario feel a little bit like . . . well . . . fiction?

At once reinventing and paying homage to science-fiction classics, Armada is a rollicking, surprising thriller, a coming-of-age adventure, and an alien invasion tale like nothing you've ever read before.

wil Wheaton (as always) does an amazing job, the book is entertaining as a whole and fans of Ready Player One will definitely enjoy it! There was times when Cline's writing was quite predictable after his aforementioned mega hit, but it's necessarily a bad thing when it does come up. would recommend to any fans of gaming and sci fi from any era!

Predictable at times, overall very entertaining!

Good story by Earnest Cline, not quite as awesome as RPO, but an entertaining read for sure! Neat plot, lots of fun story twists and humorous narrative voice.
Fantastic delivery by Will Wheaton; he really brought the story to life!

Ernest Cline does it again! What a great book

Enjoyed the book a great deal, and I love Wil Wheaton as a narrator. Earnest Cline does a great job of encapsulating the reader in a science fiction adventure while maintaining a an anchor in modern and past pop culture.

Enjoyable story read by a great narrator
