Wanderword, the leader in interactive audio entertainment, has signed a licensing agreement with HarperCollins Publishers to bring The Copernicus Legacy series by bestselling author Tony Abbott to a smartphone and smart speaker near you. Wanderword has managed development of this puzzle solving adventure which is now available to play!

The Copernicus Legacy is based on the novel written by Tony Abbott. Follow the story of a group of unlikely heroes, who are set on a world-spanning adventure to protect an ancient secret. The story begins when Wade Kaplan receives a coded message from his Uncle Henry, moments before the old man’s death. It’s revealed that he died to protect the legacy of Copernicus, which relates to a scientific device that could change both the future and the past. This sets Wade off on a world-spanning journey together with his friends Lily, Darrell, and Becca, to find the twelve historical relics that could unveil the great mystery. 

Fans of the book series will be able to immerse themselves in this world from the different perspectives of their favorite characters. This will bring the world to life in a completely different way by giving the user control of the story instead of the traditional linear way of storytelling.  

We are very excited to bring The Copernicus Legacy to the voice-controlled story market on smartphones and smart speakers.  It’s an honor to be able to work alongside HarperCollins to bring this adventure to life!
