Looking for some new material to scratch your Hamilton itch? Then you must have heard of League of American Traitors by now.
"Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it...
When Jasper is approached at the funeral of his deadbeat father by a man claiming to be an associate of his deceased parents, he’s thrust into a world of secrets tied to America’s history—and he’s right at the heart of it.
First, Jasper finds out he is the sole surviving descendant of Benedict Arnold, the most notorious traitor in American history. Then he learns that his father’s death was no accident. Jasper is at the center of a war that has been going on for centuries, in which the descendants of the heroes and traitors of the American Revolution still duel to the death for the sake of their honor.
His only hope to escape his dangerous fate on his eighteenth birthday? Take up the research his father was pursuing at the time of his death, to clear Arnold’s name.
Whisked off to a boarding school populated by other descendants of notorious American traitors, it’s a race to discover the truth. But if Jasper doesn’t find a way to uncover the evidence his father was hunting for, he may end up paying for the sins of his forefathers with his own life."
Matt Landis used his love of history (not to mention creative genius) to write a book that's been called "a cross between Hamilton and National Treasure." It's got history, comedy, and off-color humor that, honestly would probably appeal to just about everybody.
As a history lover, it hit Matt hard to see students look like their souls were being sucked out of them during history classes. So he decided to write something that could be historically informative but with more fun, and less soul-sucking.
The end result was a little piece of awesome known as League of American Traitors.
Props, Matt. You've earned it.
