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 just really enjoyed it overall. It was a bit different from the usual post apocalyptic stories
