Waiting on Wednesday (WoW) is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week’s WoW feature is:

ArmadaArmada by Ernest Cline

by Ernest Cline
Publisher: Crown Publishing
Expected publication: October 7, 2014

Zack Lightman is daydreaming through another dull math class when the high-tech dropship lands in his school’s courtyard-and when the men in the dark suits and sunglasses leap out of the ship and start calling his name, he’s sure he’s still dreaming.

But the dream is all too real; the people of Earth need him. As Zack soon discovers, the videogame he’s been playing obsessively for years isn’t just a game; it’s part of a massive, top-secret government training program, designed to teach gamers the skills they’ll need to defend Earth from a possible alien invasion. And now…that invasion is coming.

As he and his companions prepare to enter their ships and do battle, Zack learns that the father he thought was dead is actually a key player in this secret war. And together with his father, he’ll uncover the truth about the alien threat, race to prevent a genocide, and discover a mysterious third player in the interplanetary chess game he’s been thrown into.(Goodreads)

A new novel from Ernie Cline, YAY!!! I absolutely adored his first novel, READY PLAYER ONEit was my favorite read of 2012 and it’s still my #1 recommended read (or listen, the audiobook is fantastic). I can’t wait for this book! The only question is, do I read it in print or wait for the audio?

  3. I’m so excited for this one too! I read Ready Player One a few months ago and I absolutely LOVED it. It’s one of my favorite books now, if not my favorite. I’m so excited to read more by Ernest Cline!

  4. I’m ashamed to admit that I still NEED to read Ready Player One. It’s been on my wishlist/tbr shelf for a long time now but sometimes there’s just not enough time in life to read ALL the books you know?! I’ll need to get on that though,especially with this one coming out ^^ Thanks for bringing it to my attention and I hope you can get your hands on it soon 🙂
