Why read it?
1 author picked Life in the North as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The apocalypse has come and it is in the form of an alien takeover that looks like a video-game system.

I consider it one of the best places to start if you are interested in the gaming/science-fantasy mix that is the genre.
From Kit's list on feeding your inner nerd.
