The Friday Face-Off: An Alien Encounter

The Friday Face-Off was created by Books by Proxy, where each week bloggers can showcase books with covers centered around a weekly theme. You can visit Lynn’s Books for a list of upcoming themes. Join in the fun each Friday by finding a book whose cover is based on the theme!

This week’s theme: An alien encounter


I had a couple of options for this week’s theme, but I decided to go with Armada by Ernest Cline. If you haven’t read the story, it’s about a video-game playing teen who sees a flying saucer one day, and soon realizes that Earth is being invaded by aliens. I thought this was a pretty fun story, and although the covers don’t show actual aliens, I thought this book would fit the theme. Here are some covers I found:

U.S. hardcover edition 2015 | U.S. paperback edition 2016 | German edition 2017

German edition 2018 | Czech edition 2016 | Italian edition 2018

Romanian edition 2017 | Hungarian edition 2015 | Chinese edition 2018

For me, it’s a toss up between the two U.S. editions, I love both the hardcover and the paperback. But the paperback is a little more interesting, so that’s my pick!


Which cover do you like best?

  1. Agree with your choice, though that guy doesn’t look like a teenager, haha. I also like the very first cover (U.S. hardcover edition 2015) because of the color-font overall look. Seems like a fun book on UFOs!
