The release date has been put back to later in the year. The app is more likely to be out around mid-November now, in time for the release of The Heart of Fire. Once I have more specific info, I'll be sure to let you know.

Wondering if there was any news on the mobile app? Do you have a release date and price yet?

Sadly, I've received news from my publisher that the Kindle/eBook version is not currently available in the States. Gollancz are still in talks with US publishers re: the DestinyQuest franchise, therefore Gollancz cannot, at this time, make the first book available as an eBook.

Sorry for the bad news, but it is also good news too (if a US publisher snaps up the series). So, fingers crossed and we'll see what happens!

Yes, it does appear there is an availability issue in the States. I've queried this with my publisher, so will update when I know more.

That is peculiar. I wonder if I see the 'click to buy' because I am a UK Kindle owner and its only available for the UK. (Which doesn't make a huge amount of sense.)

Can other US fans confirm? If so, I'll be on to my publisher next week to see if I can get it sorted!

I tried to search for it the the US amazon store using various related terms, with no luck. If I click directly in the link posted in the news, I see this: http://grab.by/etD8 . I've tried multiple computers (PCs and Macs) and Browsers (Chrome, IE and Firefox).

Help me Boss!

I can check with my publisher, but I would have thought it would be available overseas as it's a digital download. Have you tried just going onto Amazon and then searching for 'The Legion of Shadow'? The Kindle version appears 13th on the list. Then try visiting that page. I get a 'one click' to buy icon so it looks active and available to me.

If any US fans have bought the e-version, can you pitch in to this topic to confirm it's availability and help Zenburn out?

Oh, and those that did get it - posting some reviews would be great ;-)

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to buy the kindle version of the first book, but the link available in the blog post don't work properly - it redirects me to a 'book not available' page. Any way I can buy it directly?
