Huracán's Hammer
A novel by T. A. Lancaster
The World
The Story
For as long as Zephyr can remember, the Group lived underground, surviving on weeds and rats and worse. But now their refuge has been destroyed, and their numbers decimated, and those who remain find themselves on a grueling ten-mile odyssey to their last hope for permanent sanctuary: the North Hollywood Metro Station.
But surface travel is perilous, and the journey’s first casualty is Zephyr’s mother, who is plucked from the ground by a twister, then deposited, broken and lifeless, at his feet. Reeling from grief—and perhaps influenced by the folk tales of a fellow traveler—Zephyr soon begins to experience visions of a world that might exist after the storm is gone, and of the Mayan god who may have created the storm in the first place.
While others in the Group dismiss his visions as mere dreams, Zephyr gradually begins to comprehend that they are premonitions—not only of his own future, but of the destiny of humanity itself.
The Series
Huracán's Hammer is the first installment in the Huracán Series, the serialized trilogy about a man born at the end of the world, and of his ruthless journey toward godhood, or madness, or both.
The Author
As a storyteller, T. A. Lancaster has had an unconventional career, first winning national awards as a college journalist, then spending a decade as an independent filmmaker—including a documentary that premiered at Sundance Film Festival—and most recently writing the narrative for Ganymede Games' story-driven RPG Dark Sky, released in the fall of 2024.
