Chuckanut Radio Hour with Ernest Cline, author of Armada and Ready Player One!
It's just another day of high school for Zack Lightman. He's daydreaming through another boring math class, with just one more month to go until graduation and freedom. Then he glances out the window and spots the flying saucer. At first, Zack thinks he's going crazy. A minute later, he's sure of it. Because the UFO he's staring at is straight out of the videogame he plays every night, a popular online flight simulator called Armada. But what Zack'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. Armada is at once 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 author Ernest Cline's trademark pop-culture savvy. Ernest Cline is the author of the international bestseller Ready Player One!
