This was so GOOD! I have it on the Nook, started reading it there. Then the BOCD arrived in the mail and I decided to listen to it instead. Wil Wheaton is the narrator and he is perfect for it.

I may be biased, but the 80s was the best decade for movies, music, and video games. This book was a great homage to that time while still being a great sci-fi gamer adventure. Bonus points because the author was born same year I was!
This is why I am glad I belong to a book club. This is something I never would have found on my own and it was completely delightful. The story was a ripping adventure and all of the '80s references just added to the fun.

Great read...lots of 80s pop culture references. I highly recommend listening to the audio version.
Cool and retro.
