About this listen
The best-selling author of Adrian's Undead Diary, The Darkness of Diggory Finch, and Colony Lost brings you The Hat Trick: A Ravaged Skies Novel
When a catastrophic solar flare wipes out all technology, the world is plunged into darkness. For Joshua and Lara Ryan, simple life in their quiet New England town seemed secure—until a relentless storm floods roads, wipes out crops, and leaves their community on the brink of starvation. As desperation grows, a ruthless local family takes what they want by force, triggering the worst tragedy.
Alone and vulnerable, Lara and her children turn to their only friend—Hugh, their reclusive, movie-loving neighbor who seems a bit more prepared to weather the storms than he lets on. Soon justice and vengeance blur, Hugh’s true history emerges, and soon, he isn’t just watching movies on his old crank-powered projector, he’s making sure the family never hurts the Ryans—or anyone—ever again.
As law and order collapse, Lara and her children must make an impossible choice: flee from the danger they know, or stand up and fight it.
The storms of light and wind may have passed, but in the rebirth of what comes next, a the true reckoning has begun.
The Hat Trick is a mature apocalyptic novel set in the events of a terrible solar flare event in a shared universe called The Ravaged Skies.
Authors writing in this universe include: Scott M. Baker, Kate L. Mary, Maire Lanza, Kellee L. Greene, Courtney Konstantin, Bailiegh Higgins, Ryan B. Colley, Boyd L. Craven, DJ Cooper, Nic Roads, Rich Restucci, Anne Geever, JS Patrick, and TW Piperbrook.

Story
Could the Founding Fathers have created a better, more enduring republic? What would you say to them if you could go back in time? What warnings would you give? For Harry Brown, a young and passionate libertarian with a deep love for economics and history, these questions are more than academic—they are an obsession. Harry often debates with friends about how the framers might have better safeguarded the Constitution against those who seek to concentrate federal power for their own ends.

Story
In a world where the mundane and the macabre collide, Joshua finds himself at the crossroads of two realms—one a weary reflection of modern America, the other a haunting echo of its post-apocalyptic demise. When he inherits a dilapidated house from his estranged father, along with the cottage his father leaves him a note and a mysterious skeleton key, remnants of a life long lost and a legacy he never wanted. As Joshua steps into the crumbling walls of his inheritance, the air thick with dust and memories, he is drawn into a chilling mystery that transcends time and space.

Story
Detective Ethan Krol is on the twentieth floor of a Chicago apartment building. A father and son have been found dead—their lungs full of seawater hundreds of miles from the ocean. Abidemi Eniola has arrived in Bristol, England. She claims to be Nigerian, but her accent is wrong and she can do remarkable things with technology, things that Abi’s new friend, Hollie Rogers, has never seen before. Abi is in possession of a number of heirlooms that need to be returned to their rightful owners and Hollie is more than happy to go along for the ride.
