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.

I enjoyed the new reason for the reset of the world, and I think the idea of a bunch of writers working in the same universe is cool. I think it was more condensed than I'm used to, so things happened very quickly. I liked the characters and look forward to seeing if anything else happens with them. Thanks for another entertaining read ❤️

If you're a fan of Chris Philbrook and the AUD series, this is definitely for you. If you haven't been introduced yet and zompoc is a little too far fetched, this is a great introduction to some of the types of characters this author is great at.
I found the characters easy to get into and I was quick to love (and dislike) some of them. I found the scenarios realistic and relatable. Like this could really happen. Eek! Oh, and I even liked the kids in it. Which is saying a lot.
What everyone really wants to know from a review after they've read the description is "Would you enjoy this book?" Yes! I think most people looking in this genre would. It's an easy read (I wish it was longer) and I'm hoping it will become a series. I liked it that much.
The Ravaged Skies universe (where other authors have books intertwined with these characters) is a brilliant way to introduce a reader to new authors. I'm excited.
This is worth a credit and 6 1/2 hours of your life. Do it! And the narrator was phenomenal.
Worth the credit! Good story with great characters.
