Richard answered Ivan Tamay's question: Hi Richard, Do you know when will book 3 of the Ibarra Crusade be available in audiobook? I am waiting for it anxiously!!! Books 3 and 4 will come out at one audiobook in February. That's the current schedule, I think it might come out a bit sooner. Watch this space and thank you for your patience.
