Ready Player Two: A Novel by Ernest Cliné

Description

Ready Player Two is a science fiction novel by American author Ernest Cline released in 2020. It is the sequel to his 2011 debut novel Ready Player One. Plans for a Ready Player one sequel were first announced back in 2015, though Cline did not begin writing the book until late 2017. Cline attributes further developments to the critical and financial success of the film adaptation of the first novel. Ready Player Two was published and released on November 24, 2020. 

By March of 2018, Cline reiterated this stating," I think there is a good chance that if Ready Player One, does well, Warner Bros will want to make a sequel. I don't know if Steven (Spielberg) would want to dive back in, because he would know what he is getting into. He's said that it's the third-hardest film he's made, out of dozens and dozens of movies."

It named one of the Best Books of the Year by the Washington Post.

"The game is on again...A great mix of exciting fantasy and threatening fact."--The Wall Street Journal

An Unexpected Quest. Two Worlds at Stake. Are you ready??

Days after winning OASIS founder James Halliday's contest, Wade Watts makes a discovery that changes everything. Hidden within Halliday's vaults, waiting for his heir to find, lies a technological advancement that will once again change the world and make the OASIS a thousand times more wondrous--and addictive--than even Wade dreamed possible. 

With it comes a new riddle, and a new quest--the last Easter egg from Halliday, hinting at a mysterious prize. And an unexpected, impossibly powerful, and dangerous new rival awaits, one who'll kill millions to get what he wants. Wade's life and the future of OASIS are again at stake, but this time the fate of humanity also hangs in the balance. 

Lovingly nostalgic and wildly original as only Ernest Cliné could conceive it. Ready Player Two takes us on another imaginative, fun, action-packed adventure through his beloved virtual universe, and jolts us thrillingly into the future once again.
