John Peel is a highly respected British-American author, known for his work in various genres including science fiction, children's fiction, young adult, fantasy, thriller, horror, spy fiction, and adult fiction. He is best known for his novelizations of popular television series, such as Carmen Sandiego, Diadem, Dragonhome, Eerie, Indiana, Shockers, and Tombstone, among others. Peel has also written numerous books based on popular TV series like Star Trek, James Bond Jr., and Doctor Who.
Peel's career as an author began with his work on Doctor Who novels and comic strips. He wrote the first original Doctor Who novel, Timewyrm: Genesys, which launched the Virgin New Adventures line. In the early 1990s, Peel was commissioned by Target Books to write novelizations of several key Terry Nation Dalek stories of the 1960s. He later wrote several more original Daleks novels, becoming one of only three authors credited on a Target novelization who had not either written a story for the TV series or been a part of the production team.
In addition to his work on Doctor Who, Peel has also written novels for the Star Trek franchise. Under the pseudonym "John Vincent," he wrote novelizations based upon episodes of the 1990s TV series James Bond Jr. Peel's notable works include Timewym: Genesys (1991), Evolution (1994), War of the Daleks (1997), Legacy of the Daleks (1998), and Diadem (1997-2012). He has also used pen names such as John Vincent, Nicholas Adams, Rick North, and J.P Trent to write his books.
