David A McIntee has written many spin-off novels based on the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who, as well as novels based on Sherlock Holmes, Final Destination, Star Trek TNG, and Space: 1999. He has also written non-fiction about Star Trek: Voyager, and the Alien and Predator movie franchises, among others, and has written several books for military history publisher Osprey Publishing.David has also penned several audio plays, and also contributed to various magazines. A martial artist (he thought it said "marital arts" and signed up) when not writing, he is the epitome of the Romantic writer, in that he spends most of his time as an unremitting debtor who duels with swords.
Stylistically, David A McIntee's novel feels like a punchier, slightly more adult version of the old Target novelisations of Doctor Who. It's tightly paced, well-plotted and meticulously researched, as the story ties itself into later already established, events. The characterisation is magnificent, judging the balance between career soldier and the far more complicated man that fills the uniform perfectly, while expanding and rounding out Lethbridge-Stewart's personal history. Engrossing, gripping, action-packed and with a central premise that sends shivers of excitement down your spine, you won't be able to put it down until you finish the final page. - Tim Cundle, Doctor Who Magazine
