The Pirate and the Alamo

Fueled by mystery, grit, glory, and sandwiches, three modern-day teens uncover America’s history and forgotten treasures one adventure at a time. The hunters are Ben Prescott, 18—The researcher, the mystic, the trailblazer. Porter Rockwell, 17—The man of action, the social glue. And Latch McRae, 17—The mechanic, the gear man, the straight-shooter. 

What was supposed to be a week of summer fun in San Antonio, Texas, for the hunters soon turns into a deep dive into forgotten American lore—and clues to a lost treasure! At an auction house in San Antonio, they come across an antique powder horn from the Texas Revolution covered in strange symbols. These point to frontiersman and Alamo defender Jim Bowie. Better yet, they may be a clue to a hoard of treasure hidden by the infamous pirate Jean Lafitte. Opposing the hunters is a naysaying podcast host, a descendant of General Santa Ana and a hater of all things Texan. Cos is determined to make sure people despise the heroes of the Alamo as much as he does. 

Every clue draws the hunters deeper into a maze of swashbuckling secrets and Lone Star legends, where the past isn’t past and the stakes are pure gold. 

Book 3 in an all-new series where the high school age male heroes are smart, tough, and resourceful—and hunting treasure from American history’s secret past is the greatest game of all.
