Double Disaster!

The Magical States of America #3

by John Peel

It all began the day Chrissie Scott looked into the mirror and saw somebody else's reflection. A boy who looked exactly like her. Nothing would ever be the same again...

The evil twins, Larry and Lori Lee, are back -- with the greatest terror of Athenor, the Mother of All Dragons! In exchange for their help in freeing her from thousands of years in Limbo, the terrifying dragon has agreed to spare them -- as she wreaks vengeance on Earth and the world of magic!

The future of both worlds depends on Chrissie, Chris, their pet dragons, and friends Jessica and science-whiz Henry. But they're all imprisoned in a stone dungeon where magic doesn't work! How can they escape? In a few hours the Lees and Athenor will drain all electricity and magic from the universe. They've already begun...

About the author

John Peel is the author of Doctor Who books and comic strips. Notably, he wrote the first original Doctor Who novel, Timewyrm: Genesys, to launch the Virgin New Adventures line. In the early 1990s he was commissioned by Target Books to write novelisations of several key Terry Nation Dalek stories of the 1960s after the rights were finally worked out. He later wrote several more original Daleks novels.

He has the distinction of being one of only three authors credited on a Target novelisation who had not either written a story for the TV series or been a part of the production team (the others were Nigel Robinson and Alison Bingeman).

Outside of Doctor Who, Peel has also written novels for the Star Trek franchise. Under the pseudonym "John Vincent", he wrote novelisations based upon episodes of the 1990s TV series James Bond Jr..
