Plot Summary
High school student Zack Lightman glances out his classroom window and spots a UFO. The ship he’s staring at is straight out of the videogame he plays every night, a hugely popular online flight simulator called Armada—in which gamers just happen to be protecting Earth from alien invaders. As Zack explores the mystery of the ship and the death of his father, he finds there is more truth than fiction in his favorite video games.[2]
