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..

Reviews

[Anna Borsarelli · Rating 4 out of 5]

Si sa io leggo di tutto, anche le etichette del detersivo!! Perciò se mi capita in mano un libricino per ragazzi non posso certo tirarmi indietro! Racconto veloce, fluido, scritto bene e molto carino. In particolare quando pensi che sia finito in realtà c'è una sorpresa... Vale sempre la pena tornare ragazzini con una piccola lettura come questa.
