Ready Player One
by Ernest Cline
A quest for the ultimate prize.
Are you ready?"
But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win -- and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape.
"An addictive read ... part intergalactic scavenger hunt, part romance, and all heart." --CNN.com
"[A] fantastic page-turner ... Ready Player One may be science fiction, but it's also written for people who have never picked up an SF novel in their lives." --io9.com
"A gunshot of fun with a wicked sense of timing and a cast of characters that you're pumping your fist in the air with whenever they succeed." --Chicago Reader
