Dear Alarm Community,
Thank you for all your support on the autobiographical Mike Peters’ journey of ‘Love’ and ‘Hope.’
We are pleased to announce that ‘Strength’ has now been completed after Mike left detailed instructions regarding publication, which we’re ready to fulfil for him.
The book is a deeply personal, emotional account of Mike finally breaking free from cancer.
It reflects on his remarkable life with his beloved Jules, and their two sons, while reflecting on the renaissance of The Alarm and the wild ride that saw him play arenas with The Cult, tour with Big Country, and headline his own shows in the final year of his life. It reflects, too, on the pioneering cancer treatment he received at The Christie. Love, Hope, and Strength is completed, of course, with music, and each copy of the book will feature a recording of Mike’s final ever performance. The superluxe version will also feature a DVD recording of that show.
The book features the following elements:
Superluxe: Vinyl recording and cd recording of Mike’s final performance. DVD of Mike’s final performance. An exclusive memorial book, from his memorial service. The full and final instalment of Mike’s autobiography. A Mike Peters’ plectrum.

Writing the books was a labour of love for Mike in the final years of his life. Typically, he poured his heart and soul into the manuscripts, the design, the music, and the production of them. He left very detailed instructions to the team working on the project – and those instructions are being faithfully followed.
July 4th is, of course, American Independence Day. And, given Mike’s love of America – and it’s affection for him – there’s no better day to announce the pre-orders. We hope you enjoy the final instalment of Mike’s autobiography and please forward any queries to Mike’s publisher, via email, at: Andy@awaywithmedia.com
