Written by a group of seven Call of Duty competitors including Rodriquez and Matt "NaDeSHoT" Haag, this book offers an eye-opening glimpse into the realm of not only the popular video game franchise Call of Duty but also eSports (aka professional video gaming or simply pro gaming) and the professional eSports organization Major League Gaming. The authors, who have competed together under the name OpTic Gaming since 2006 and have earned their place at the top of eSports teams globally, trace how their passion became a lucrative business. Their ability to tap the prevalent zeitgeist and ultimately cash in on their hobby is inspiring and serves as an exemplar for entrepreneurs looking to exploit their own enthusiasms. As the authors point out, eSports revenue exceeded $250 million in 2015, with a fan base of more than 113 million worldwide. VERDICT With each competitor offering ways to improve gaming skills and sharing insight into their own winning strategies, this book is an engaging consideration of a burgeoning sport and business.--Brian Renvall, Mesalands Community Coll., Tucumcari, NM
