The Gamer

A beachfront hotel in Florida. Five hundred people have been taken hostage. Many of them are world leaders and government officials, including The President of the United States.

A video gamer is working in the hotel. He learnt his skills playing first person shooters. Now he uses them in a situation where bullets kill.

The police are helpless. He is the only one who can alter the hostages’ fate. The terrorists’ hidden agenda is revealed. Harry takes the fight to the terrorists and attempts to bring down the world’s most wanted man.

FIVE HUNDRED HOSTAGES, SIXTY TERRORISTS,
ONE SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD GAMER!

Praise for The Gamer

‘The Inbetweeners meets Die Hard’.

‘I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through, I couldn’t stop reading.’

‘My heart was in my mouth as he crept around the hotel.’
