Okay. So we heard you like
"Slightly Outrageous Discounts"
or whatever…
And since you're one of us now, my business partner insists it's high time I cough up the Insider Savings for your next favorite series. So, here goes…
Your special deal awaits.
An ancient legend. A snarky sword. And a reluctant hero who’s about to regret everything.
Nate Arturi never wanted to save the world. He wanted to graduate, land a decent job, and maybe figure out why his neighbor's corgi keeps climbing onto roofs. But when a deranged alien beacon wakes up on Earth, Nate’s mundane life goes up in smoke—literally.
Ambushed by an alien monster, saddled with a sarcastic sword, and scammed by a scruffy wizard claiming to be the Merlin, Nate is thrown into an adventure that’s way above his pay grade. Worse still, an alien armada is gunning for Earth, and Nate might be the only thing standing between humanity and fiery oblivion.
But saving Earth is just the beginning. To survive, Nate must rise from reluctant hero to full-blown legend, even if it means facing galaxy-spanning conspiracies, ancient grudges, and more foul-mouthed AI sass than anyone should have to endure.
Grab your Excalibur and don’t miss this fresh Arthurian space opera that readers are calling “hilarious, heartfelt, and impossible to put down!”
“Arthurian Space Opera, for the win!"
"Mitchell's writing is a joy to read. I WANT MORE!"
"Sci-fi meets Camelot. Plus a cool Corgi. What more do you want? Stop reading this and go start the series!"
Here's the deal.
(And Amazon would take their cut, plus distribution fees)
If you instead grab the books directly from me through the special bundle deal below…
They'll cost you about 60% less.
I'll make about the same amount.
(And get paid immediately, instead of waiting 60+ days for a royalty check)
And, perhaps most importantly…
You can download your books to any device(s) you want.
(Including your Kindle, Nook, iPhone, Android, PC, and pretty much any other reading app or device)
AND take those books with you in the future.
(You know, just in case you ever happen to change devices or reading app of choice.)
Sound good?
(That was a lot of scrolling, I know.)
Here's the actual deal. (Actually.)
Looking for another format?
You can find comparable bundle deals on the series in these three formats:
Okay, great! But seriously… How Does It Work?
"Only a small portion of the books I read are of the 'can't put it down' variety. This was one of them."
“A must-read through and through!"
“Mitchell didn’t retell the King Arthur story, he reinvented it, and I have been quite blown away. If you are looking for an enjoyable read, you can’t go wrong with this story!”
Rather Buy on Amazon, Apple, etc?
I hear you! Direct sales are cool and all, but my top wish is for you to enjoy the books wherever works best for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
You've got questions. I've got pudding. (But also answers, too.)
How long does digital delivery take?
For ebooks and audio, we call it "instant," but in truth, it's actually more like 2-3 seconds.
As soon as you complete your purchase, the digital wheels will turn, and you'll receive an email with a unique link to download your eBook(s) in your preferred format.
For paperback editions, see the next question.
What about paperback delivery?
While instant delivery is an option for ebooks and audio, we here at Whale Press HQ unfortunately have yet to crack the code on the instantaneous mass transporter device.
That said, once you place your order, your books will be printed on demand and sent your way by the amazing folks at BookVault. All told, you should have your books within 7-14 days.
(If you have ebooks or audiobooks in your order, those should arrive immediately.)
Will I be able to read on my eReader?
Yes! We know we're really hammering on it, but our delivery system (Book Funnel) will enable you to get your ebooks and audio onto ANY device you prefer (Kindle, Nook, Kobo, phone, computer, tablet, and so forth).
Book Funnel even has a team of eReader ninjas standing by right here to help if there's any issue.
Can I read on my phone or computer?
Yep! You can also download your ebooks and audio onto iPhones, Android devices, and pretty much anything else with a screen. You can even read them directly on your internet browser if you don't feel like downloading anything.
What countries do paperbacks ship to?
Unfortunately, we're currently only able to handle print book delivery to the US and UK regions. We hope to change that in the future as print on demand services continue to grow worldwide.
In the meantime, we're sorry to everyone else who wants print but hope you'll still enjoy the ebook or audiobook versions!
Why buy direct from the author?
Very important question, and there are several, several answers. Most pressingly, by cutting out the middlemen and buying directly from Luke on this store, you get to pay less and he gets to keep more.
There are lots of other cool perks, like the fact that buying here opens a direct line of communication between reader and author — not to mention the part where you're actually buying your ebook and audio files rather than merely licensing access to them (as you typically would be on most major retailers). But in the end, it mostly comes down to that simple idea: Buying direct saves you money while also maximizing your support to the author.
It's a win-win! (Just not for the big retailers.)
