The Armada Wars community is now open on Reddit, so please do pop over and post any questions, theories, or whatever Armadaverse-related topic is on your mind.

As a brand new subreddit r/ArmadaWars is very quiet right now and it looks a bit sad. Come make noise!

As long-time fans will know, every expansion episode has a new lead character.

The upcoming Forge Ruinous is no exception, and this one is bound to strike a chord with readers who enjoy the weirdly surgical carnage which inevitably accompanies Tanker Regiment.

Tāne Tāwhiri is the corporal heading up fire teams Alpha and Bravo of Buzzard Company's Three-Three squad, so he has another seven absolute units under his command. And he's going to need them.

You can read a spoiler-free introduction to this character on his new profile page!

Since Kindle exclusivity ended, the Armada Wars books have been populating to eBook services, major retailers, and some digital library services.

But it didn't stop there. You can now also buy the eBooks direct from this site, in .epub format.

There is no restriction on which or how many of your devices you can read them on (provided they support epub3), so whether you read on an iPad, a Pixel, a Kindle, or a Kobo, it's all good!

You can also "buy" free eBook samples if there are any volumes you have not read yet.

Buying direct is by far the best way to support independent authors.

The final front cover design for Whom Gods Shall Fear, Part Two has now been finalised.

Apologies for the scare with the holding image showing a colour-shifted version of part one's cover! You'll most likely agree that this scene from the Battle of Earth is far more... enthralling.

It's been a while since the web site was updated, but now new layouts and page structures are being rolled out across all pages. These changes make the site easier on the eye, whether you're visiting on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile.

Images have also been added for key alien races, which you can see in the Societies section.

But that's not all... new character images are also arriving! Virtually all main and secondary characters have been updated already, with more on the way.

As a special treat, the first "featured group" in the People section is Tanker Regiment.
And it includes a sneak peek...

It's been a while since there was any Armadaverse update, so here's a round-up of what's coming up...

With the completion of the Great War of the Shaeld storyline, two new multi-volume omnibus editions will arrive for Kindle:

• War Stories Omnibus
• Books 4–6 Omnibus

The completion of series one will mean new merchandise becomes available. This will likely include:

• At least one complete series box set,
• Special editions of individual volumes,
• Ancillary accessories such as magnetic tiles and bookmarks.

The Armadaverse just got a lot wider!
​
All current books are now available across numerous services.

Paperbacks are now on sale from major global retailers, and the ebooks can be found on all popular platforms. They're also available from digital libraries!

It's been a long time since there was an audiobook release in the Armadaverse.

For the past year, Amazon has had a new programme in beta which can generate audiobooks from Kindle editions. After being invited recently, RCV has now tested the system using the two available expansion episodes: I Dream of Damastion and A Storm to the Savage.

You can obtain these immediately from Amazon US or Audible US. I'm keen to know what readers think of the job the system has done, because this could be a game-changer for books which otherwise would never have been available in this accessible format.

Owners of the Kindle edition receive a huge 80% discount on the retail purchase price through Amazon.

The Ravening Deep has now joined I Dream of Damastion in the wide marketplace!

The novel has populated across numerous ebook sales platforms and libraries already, and paperbacks are available from major retailers across the globe. More will be added as they publish their product pages.

The ebook is still available to buy for Kindle, but is no longer in the Kindle Unlimited subscription service.

More of the Armadaverse books will be arriving with non-Amazon retailers over the next six weeks. You can see approximate timescales in the previous announcement.

It was hoped that the Omnibus Editions would be able to stay in Kindle Unlimited, but unfortunately due to Amazon's Kindle Select rules they cannot. Ebooks in the programme must be exclusive to Kindle, and if the content is available elsewhere (even as separate books), then they are excluded.

So, if you're currently reading the Books 1&2 Starter Pack or the Books 1–3 Omnibus through Kindle Unlimited, you have until Monday 14th April! There may be a day or two grace period as the KU system catches up.
