People keep asking – What are these new multi-touch Books?

The new generation of readers has been brought up not just with TV but smartphones, iPads, broadband internet and every kind of distraction.

When I was a kid I read my way through the 1,000 pages of the Lord of the Rings with only my imagination, one or two illustrations and Tolkien’s writing to make it real. These days people want a little more. Pharrell Williams said it best, ‘Kids today need a visual’.

A multi-touch book uses everything an iPad can do to bring the world of the Sword of Air to life. Characters spring from the page with hundreds of beautiful photographs, that go full screen at the tap of a finger.

Sound effects put you inside the action, instead of just being told about it. The cinematic soundtrack adds another layer, telling the story  and giving depth to the characters as the book progresses.

Short movies built right into the story put you inside the character’s head, let you see what they see, feel their emotions.

It’s a full length book with the best elements of a movie melded seamlessly into it to give the story a panoramic feel.

Everything’s built into the book. No streaming, no wifi necessary. You can enjoy the Sword of Air wherever you are on your iPad or Mac. It’s an instant, seamless, immersive experience.

The Character Map is an interactive guide for the reader at the end of each chapter. As they come into the story each character and key place is described in the pop up gallery at the end of each chapter.

It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before. It’s new, different, exciting. Punk Publishing at its best. Pushing the boundaries of the medium to create something amazing.

The combination of R.J.Madigan’s brilliant writing and the multimedia elements, come together to create an immersive experience that goes beyond just a book. It’s a page turner your won’t be able to put down!
