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.

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.

The Armada Wars back catalogue will soon be 'going wide', which means the Ebook editions will be available at a range of retailers and no longer exclusive to Amazon Kindle.

The drawback of this decision is that the books will no longer be available to borrow as part of Kindle Unlimited. Electronic editions can only take part in KU if they're exclusive to Amazon.

Kindle editions will still be available via Amazon/Kindle as normal retail purchases, and if you've purchased any outright they will of course stay in your account.

If you're currently reading an Armadaverse title via KU, here are the deadlines before the books leave the subscription platform:
