Ready Player One
It’s 2044, and the world is not a happy place. Corporation
is king, and the majority of humanity lives in the Stacks, a collection of
trailers stacked 40 stories high on rickety scaffolding. But there is escape
through OASIS, the fully-immersive virtual reality world created by James Halliday. When Halliday died, he hid
inheritance within the world of OASIS. When 17 year-old Wade Watts unlocks the
first key of the puzzle, he finds himself in an adventure of a lifetime. But there
are evil powers afoot that threaten Wade’s real life. A nostalgic,
edge-of-your-seat ride through Dungeons and Dragons, 80’s ephemera, and a
protagonist that you can’t help but like, makes this novel a must read. Are you
ready, Player One?

Rangers Apprentice is a captivating story of an orphan growing up and becoming a
Ranger; a small special task
force, outside the jurisdiction of local barons, answerable only to the king.
The series is focused on one Ranger’s apprentice,

chosen to be a Ranger and continue thru the hardships the boy faces in
his apprenticeship.
