Sinopsis	Zack Lightman has spent his life dreaming. Dreaming that the real world could be a little more like the countless science-fiction books, movies, and videogames he's spent his life consuming. Dreaming that one day, some fantastic, world-altering event will shatter the monotony of his humdrum existence and whisk him off on some grand space-faring adventure. But hey, there's nothing wrong with a little escapism, right? After all, Zack tells himself, he knows the difference between fantasy and reality. He knows that here in the real world, aimless teenage gamers with anger issues don't get chosen to save the universe. And then he sees the flying saucer. Even stranger, the alien ship 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. No, Zack hasn't lost his mind. As impossible as it seems, what he'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. It's Zack's chance, at last, to play the hero. But even through the terror and exhilaration, he can't help thinking back to all those science-fiction stories he grew up with, and wondering: Doesn't something about this scenario seem a little familiar? At once gleefully embracing and brilliantly subverting science-fiction conventions as only Ernest Cline could, Armada is 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 the pop-culture savvy that has helped make Ready Player One a phenomenon. CLINE ERNEST País:Estados Unidos Nacimiento:Ashland, 29 de marzo de 1972 Autor y guionista americano, Ernest Cline desarrolló una notable carrera como poeta, siendo un participante habitual en competiciones de poesía slam, donde logró ser muy conocido por su pieza Dance Monkeys Dance, que el propio autor convirtió en un falso vídeo educativo que se convirtió en viral a través de YouTube. Además, su interés por el mundo del cine dio como resultado su salto al mundo del guion con la película Fanboys. También ha llevado a cabo numerosos trabajos para la gran pantalla relacionados con sus novelas. En 2010 Cline publicó su obra más conocida, Ready Player One, una novela de ciencia ficción basada en el mundo de los videojuegos y la cultura popular de los años 80 y 90 que resultó todo un éxito de ventas. En 2015 vio la luz su segundo título, Armada. La adaptación al cine de Ready Player One, dirigida por Steven Spielberg, también fue un éxito. En 2021 salió a la luz la secuela de esta popular historia, Ready Player Two.
