A first person shooter, Imminent Threat, or IT for short, is built around the scenario of a terrorist team and
police team.
The teams are made up of various real people, sometimes from different parts of the world, coming together
inside virtual maps with their computers and Internet connections. Competitive leagues exist where teams
play out like brackets in a tournament or “King of The Hill” ladders.

The Book
The Game
Teased at school and ignored at home, unpopular sixteen-year-
old Sam Iver feels utterly alone. That is, until he logs on to the
Internet to play video games against people from all over the
world.
Using the alias Henry Ruff, Sam is one of the most feared
players in a game called Imminent Threat. This fast-paced, true-
to-life tactical battle is Henry Ruff’s digital playground, where the
winners have elite skills and reflexes. Sam is on his way to
becoming the best player ever, but his video game skills soon
translate to the real world. Jun Sung, one of his online playing
partners known as Jade, is kidnapped from her home in Chicago
because of her father’s past affiliation with the tightly controlled
North Korean nuclear program.
When Sam spots Jun at the largest computer gaming
tournament in the world at a Chicago hotel, the two teens are
thrust into the middle of an international incident. Their survival
hinges on Sam’s decision-making abilities. But will he make the
right choices when it could mean more than losing a game—
when it could be the difference between life and death?
