#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The thrilling sequel to the beloved worldwide bestseller Ready Player One, the near-future adventure that inspired the blockbuster Steven Spielberg film.

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--a 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 the 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 Cline 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.

halfway there

This feels like someone started a D&D campaign, but wanted to be a player halfway through so they rushed the ending.

Recaptures the best parts of RP1

I finished it and I'm happy. Not a disappointing, very much recaptures the best aspects of RP1 even if a little cliche or predictable. Very enjoyable.

Back to the OASIS: My Brain is Still Loading 80s Trivia

Confession time: I was one of the many who fell head over heels for Ready Player One. The nostalgia, the virtual world, the epic quest – it was pure geeky bliss. So, when Ready Player Two was announced, I was a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation. Could it live up to the original?Short answer: Yes, it absolutely delivers another wild ride through the OASIS! Stepping back into Wade Watts's virtual shoes felt like coming home, albeit a home that's been upgraded with even more intricate puzzles and potentially world-ending stakes.Ernest Cline clearly had a blast writing this sequel, cramming it with even more deep-cut references, challenging riddles, and thrilling action sequences. It's a book that demands you pay attention, rewarding you with those satisfying "aha!" moments when you piece together a clue or recognize a hidden gem from pop culture history.While the quest is different, the heart of the story remains the same: the power of connection, the allure of escapism, and the enduring legacy of the 80s (my brain is still trying to process all that trivia!). It's a fun, fast-paced adventure that will keep you turning pages late into the night.If you loved Ready Player One, picking up Ready Player Two is a no-brainer. It's a worthy successor that expands the universe and provides another dose of that unique blend of sci-fi, gaming, and nostalgia. Get ready to dive back in!

Listed as First Edition, it is not

Amazon lists as a first edition. Will keep to read, not sure about the story line.

Kind of disappointed

Sadly not as good as the first one. Don't want to say more and spoil the book.
