★★★☆☆
OK, this book was fun and fast, and I enjoyed it, but it was as unoriginal as it's possible to be. It even acknowledges itself to be completely derivative of any number of SF stories over the years, in fact its primary plot premise is that this story is a combination of The Last Starfighter, Ender's Game and a number of similar stories.
Still, good fun. A lot less nostalgic drivel than Ready Player One.
