Angry Robot has bought a new series of apocalyptic science fiction novels by Peter Crowther, publisher at genre fiction house PS Publishing.
Publishing director Marc Gascoigne bought world rights to the Forever Twilight trilogy from Ian Drury at Sheil Land. The first book in the trilogy, Darkness Falling, will be published internationally in October 2011, with subsequent volumes to follow in 2012 and spring 2013.
The novels are about a blinding light engulfing Earth and the effect it has on humanity.
Gascoigne said: "It’s wonderful that we’re able to share a little-known secret about Peter Crowther – that as well as being an acclaimed publisher he’s a damn fine novelist too. Reading Darkness Falling gave me the same thrills I’ve got from recent Stephen King novels and Justin Cronin’s The Passage, and that was it – I decided we just had to have this dystopian masterpiece for Angry Robot."
