Publisher's summary
The Book Of The Peace

– being the only accurate record of the end of the War between the Great Houses and their Enemy, and the affects thereof on the denizens of the Spiral Politic and wider universe in the period in which the armistice was negotiated and signed.

– presenting the accounts of a small number of subjects from a range of time periods and places, using their individual perspectives to provide an experience-base from which broader generalisations may be made.

– including several carefully selected case studies, forming a history of the immediate aftermath of the Peace 'from below'.

Dossier
In the months leading up to the release of The Book of the Peace, a set of promotional materials were released on the Obverse Books website under the name The Book of the Peace Dossier, described as "Being a collection of queries and responses, fragmentary documents and sundry articles of dubious provenance." This included interviews with the authors of The Book of the Peace, an author-curated Spotify playlist, and various in-universe vignettes and short stories connected to the stories in the anthology.
