Yesterday was it … launch day. The Daylight War has now been on sale for about 24 hours. Pre-orders have been shipped, bookstores stocked …

Oh right. And Peat’s on tour.

Last night, Peat held his U.S. book launch at Singularity & Co in Brooklyn, a unique science fiction and fantasy store. Fans, friends and family crowded in to hear Peat read from his brand new book (everybody say it with me): The Daylight War.

It turned out to be super casual and cozy evening. Peat answered questions as they came up naturally and talked about everything from cover art to his plans for his next three books followed by a signing.

In line to get Daylight Wars signed

As you may recall last week, we posted an awesome trailer for The Daylight War made by the fine folks at Voyager UK, in conjunction with artist Dan Kitchener.

But the US marketing team at Del Rey Books has not been idle! Using the amazing voice talent of Alyssa Wilmoth, who plays Inevera in the Graphic Audio production of The Desert Spear, in combination with the cover art of the ever fabulous Larry Rostant and music by Hit Feeling Productions, they have imagined something very different.

I’m pleased to present their trailer here for the first time. Enjoy!

A couple weeks ago, Voyager asked U.K. fans to submit questions to ask Peat before the release of The Daylight War. The cream of the crop were chosen and Peat answered them on Voyager’s site. Peat fields questions on his writing process, favorite books and some hints as to what is coming after The Daylight War. Check out the interview here.

Pre-order the U.K. version of The Daylight War here. Peat will be traveling to England this February/March along with a host of other places. Check out his full schedule to see if he is coming to a city near you.
