John Peel

John Peel is the author of Doctor Who books and comic strips. Notably, he wrote the 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 Dalek novels, as well as The Official Doctor Who & the Daleks Book which included his own Dalek timeline and other additional information on the Daleks.
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 of episodes of the 1990s TV series James Bond Jr..
