Armada

Sort of like book 2 of Ready Player One, not because they're in the same universe but in the homage to the music and video games of the 80s.

I was not a video game player but I definitely know the majority of movie, book, and music references which makes me feel I'm a part of a community of geeks.

The storyline is constantly moving and doesn't get bogged down with too much universe builting or technology explanations, the author doesn't sidetrack on to topics not related to the storyline, and the characters have depth to them. All this makes this a book I enjoyed but there's nothing really complex or surprisingly unique or mindbending to rate more stars from me.
