The complete BOT Trilogy + The Base City Series — six signed novels you won't want to put down.
Matt Hartle here. As a writer, creative director, animator, and VFX artist, I've spent 30 years telling stories on some of the biggest films in the world—Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Transformers. But the stories I care about most, the ones that get me up at 5AM, are the ones I write for you.
For years, I've been writing novels. Thousands are reading them—the response is overwhelming.
My pitch to you is simple. I'm going to sign every book, include a limited-edition art print you can't get anywhere else, and pack it myself — I'm doing this to find new readers and share something that I think you will love.
I'm offering you dozens of hours of escape, adventure, and entertainment. My books are not popcorn—they are about characters and connection, set during extraordinary times, in extraordinary places. I think it's more than worth it, and I hope you do too.
In a world on the brink of collapse, one summer changes everything.
After graduation, Adam Wesley and his friends escape to the mountains for one last weekend of freedom.
But when a bot encounter leaves one of them injured, they return home to find The Transition has begun.
The world they knew is gone forever—and the fight for survival is only the beginning.
Gear up with the Ultimate Survival Kit — the perfect companion to the series.

Hi, I'm Matt. I've worked in theatrical advertising and visual effects for several decades, at first in Los Angeles and later remotely from Montana. As a partner and the Executive Creative Director at Baked Studios (NY, CA), I spend my days making movies, but at night (or very early in the morning), I write novels and screenplays!! I have been fortunate to contribute to dozens of films over the years. Some notable projects include several Harry Potter films, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the Lionsgate logo.
