The iCandidate

Former Green Beret turned history teacher Michael Bennit likes to inspire his students. After losing a bet to one of his classes, he finds himself running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Partnering with his students to campaign exclusively on social media, the race turns into a national sensation and a sleazy incumbent fanatical about hanging onto his power becomes desperate to destroy it- at any cost.

"The iCandidate is one of the best books that I have read in a long time and the characters and twists will keep you reading long into the night."

"This is extremely original. I have never read anything like it. I enjoyed the multiple perspectives that I was given. Each one gave a little bit more to the story and made me start to see the plot coming together."

If you like House of Cards, you’ll enjoy reading how The Michael Bennit Series turns the American political process upside down when the little guy is pitted against the Washington elite set on destroying him to preserve their power in these political dramas.

All Michael Bennit wants to do is be the best high school teacher he can be. However, when he loses a bet to his over-achieving class of history students, he finds himself in unfamiliar territory: a candidate running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

With no money and only his students to run his campaign, Michael sets a plan in motion to be the country’s first virtual candidate. Leveraging social media, his campaign becomes the epicenter of national attention and a target for a desperate incumbent fanatical about hanging onto power- at any cost.

The iCandidate follows the plight of four people caught in the firestorm of mass media, social media, and dirty politics. In the end, lives will be changed and the political landscape of the country forever altered, but will the lesson of it all be lost?
