  When high school gamer Zack Lightman sees a flying saucer outside his classroom window—straight out of his favorite video game—he thinks he's losing his mind. But when it turns out the game was a recruitment tool for an elite defense force preparing for an alien invasion, Zack is thrust into a real-life interstellar conflict. As he joins other top players from around the world, he must uncover the truth behind the invasion and confront the possibility that everything he thought he knew—about the world, his father, and himself—might be part of a much bigger game. Armada is a fast-paced sci-fi adventure that blends nostalgia, conspiracy, and high-stakes action.

  The Nothing Equation by Tom Godwin - The space ships were miracles of power and precision; the men who manned them, rich in endurance and courage. Every detail had been checked and double checked; every detail except— 
  The cruiser vanished back into hyperspace and he was alone in the observation bubble, ten thousand light-years beyond the galaxy's outermost sun. He looked out the windows at the gigantic sea of emptiness around him and wondered again what the danger had been that had so terrified the men before him.

Or else they had imagined it all. 
  He went across the small room, his magnetized soles loud on the thin metal floor in the bubble's silence. He sat down in the single chair, his weight very slight in the feeble artificial gravity, and reviewed the known facts. 
  The bubble was a project of Earth's Galactic Observation Bureau, positioned there to gather data from observations that could not be made from within the galaxy. Since metallic mass affected the hypersensitive instruments the bubble had been made as small and light as possible. It was for that reason that it could accommodate only one attendant. 
  The Bureau had selected Horne as the bubble's first attendant and the cruiser left him there for his six months' period of duty. When it made its scheduled return with his replacement he was found dead from a tremendous overdose of sleeping pills. On the table was his daily-report log and his last entry, made three months before...

  Captain John “Black Jack” Geary’s exploits are known to every schoolchild. Revered for his heroic “last stand” in the early days of the war, he was presumed dead.
