Its no sequel to 'Ready Player One' in spirit or content, but when viewed on its own merits, Armada is OK. Pretty good even...maybe. The plot is really similar to The Last Starfighter, with a lot of elements of the first Independence Day movie wrapped in. I suppose you can call it an 'homage'. Reading through, I thought this book would work better as a Disney XD or Pixar movie (with the adult suggestive themes toned down or cut out). Maybe even a Netflix original movie. The ending was a bit underwhelming. Not so much the fast paced action that lead up to the end, but the revelation of what the threat really was. It was interesting, but felt very unsatisfying. I wouldn't recommend reading this if you read RP1 and want something similar. But if you enjoy average level action science fiction, you might enjoy Armada.
