High schooler and gamer Zack's world is rocked when the aliens from his favorite video game actually invade Earth. Wondering at the eerie similarity of this attack to the books and movies he loved as a kid, Zack, along with other game aficionados, gears up to defend the planet.
VERDICT Expect huge demand for this coming-of-age gamer kid adventure after the author's big splash with Ready Player One, but with pop culture references, action, and a relatable main character the appeal for all ages was already there.
