PAD wrote his column “But I Digress” for CBG continuously for nearly 23 years.
Peter, I sincerely wish you the best in your recovery, Until I visited this site today I took for granted how much you have given to all of us…so I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much you have helped me over the past twenty years…yes I have been greedy,selfish,joyful, enthusiatic voyeur of so many of your books novels and screenplays(some times without even knowing) for all this time. Thank you, thank you, and thank you 365x 20 years worth of thank you’s I hoped we are blessed with a many more in the future.
Hey writer of stuff. Greetings from the UK. Been a big fan of your work for some time. Now I don’t usually go onto any comics writer or artist sites, but have heard your news so I am dropping in to wish you a full and speedy recovery.
I think it is brilliant that Ariel is keeping it going for the time being whilst you recover. My best wishes to you and all the family. Get well soon mate.
James Sloan
Writer of emails
When is “Raising Stakes” going to come out? For Kindle App?
Thanks.
Judy
I don’t believe it’s been scheduled yet.
I hope your recovery is going well. I would humbly ask that if its at all possible please continue the New Frontiers. thank you for all you’ve done and best wishes toward your recovery.
I just wanted to say how happy I was to read of your recovery in your wife’s update. I didn’t know of the stroke, so while I was not glad to read the bad news, it was quite a relief to read the good news of your continuing recovery all at once! I really enjoy your Next Gen novels and I absolutely love the 2 first Imzadi books. They are on my “Do not lend out to anyone, including my grown up daughters” list. I love to read & I am constantly amazed at the huge amount of work, creativity, imagination, research; I’m at a loss for words to finish describing what all goes into writing a great book. I learn so much from reading, different periods of history, different cultures, how textiles are created, how Irish crafters create & hand blow hot glass into gorgeous works of art or pieces for use in a home. I’ve been to China weeping with little girls when their feet were bound so tightly so that they wouldn’t grow any more & the little ones endured great pain. Then there are you & other talented folks who take me out to the stars and beyond, where ultimately the good guys win out over the bad guys, and Riker & Troi finally get themselves sorted out.
Thank you so much for the many hours of enjoyable, escape reading your books have given me. I have a lot of health issues & a fair amount of pain, & a really good book often does me more good than the pain meds. I have reread all of my small collection of ST:TNG, a few Voyager & one Enterprise; books twice, several 3 times, the Imzadi books probably 4 times. I wait several years & then read them again, I know the broad strokes but the details are usually new again, plus the books from the library & ones I borrow from my son-in-law.
I recently came across a paperback book sale & some of the books from Michael Jan Friedman’s series of Captain Picard’s first command on the Stargazer. It was there that I saw an ad for Imzadi Forever. I never knew you had written a third book! I am quite excited, I ordered it from Amazon, & now comes the hard part, waiting for it to arrive!!
Live long & prosper!
I hate to give you the bad news, but Imzadi Forever is just an omnibus collection of the 2 Imzadi novels. There is no third Imzadi book.
On the other hand, you’ll be able to lend out the omnibus while keeping the novels!
Congratulations to Caroline for her Author’s credit on Fearless which is now available.
The first thing I read of yours was “Bronsky’s Date With Death”, a year or two ago.
I am still enjoying it. It’s the finest short story I’ve ever read (but then, I haven’t read all of Gogol).
So I have a lot of catching up to do. Off to the bookstores – through your site.
PAD will have a short story, “Moon Maid over Manhattan,” in the upcoming anthology Worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
He also has an essay in the recent nonfiction anthology Living with Shakespeare.
I am looking for a series of books written under the name David Peter. They have to do with a dog/human paring and are just wonderful. When my house burned down in the late 80’s I lost a 3000 book library and for these, I have never found replacements. Also along the way I lost my hardcover edition of the New Frontier 1-4.
That’s the Psi-Man series listed on this page. They were reprinted under Peter David’s real name.
I am glad to hear that you are recovering. I have been reading Imzadi again, and I marvel at how you got the characters right every time. I love this book and re-read both Imzadi and it’s sequel from time to time. I hope you have more Next Generation stories to tell because I’ll be there to buy them. Been looking through your catalog of books that you have done. I didn’t know you had a series called “Psi-Man”. I’m going to see if it’s still available on Amazon.com.
Best,
R. Lloyd
Hi.
First off I’m extremely delighted to read of your recovery.
Second I was wondering if there are any plans of releasing the Sir Apropos of Nothing series in e-book format, and if Knight Life is going to be released in e-book format as well.
Dear Mr. David,
I hope you get better soon and keep writing the comics and stories that have enhanced our lives. I have been a huge fan of X-Factor. I’m not a fanboy, just a ‘true believer.’ I am glad you closed out Jamie and Layla’s story so well. My only hope is that Marvel leaves their happiness alone. As far as the Serval Industries’ X-Factor, I shall say that I am excited to see its continued progression. As a fan though I must ask or maybe suggest that you bring in a luck character. preferably one like Domino, or maybe you could save the Marvel Universe from Longshot. lol. His four-shot ruined my opinion of him AGAIN. thank you so much for being awesome. I look forward to the next endeavor.
Please do me a favor & don’t kill Doug Ramsey again and get him back with Psylocke. Ok. Please. At least think about it and if you kill him bring him back and make them work. I was enjoying the all new X-factor – come on don’t kill Doug …. it’s cliche at this point. Been there done that…. please… I can beg.
Wish you much success in the future…
Artful just showed up on on my Kindle, to purchase from Kindle First for $1.99 – considering the other books on the list, I don’t think it’s a reflection of my own reading or purchasing habits.
Thank you Kevin for posting about the $1.99 Artful.
I’m surprised there’s no mention of Peter David’s script writing for GraphicAudio’s “Astonishing X-Men: Gifted” audio book.
I was surprised when I saw the Joss Whedon based story on their web-sire and een more surprised when I saw who scripted it.
I look forward to listening to it and hope this is more than just a one time effort on Peter’s part to adapt great comic stories into the audio book realm.
That’s because the audio is adapted from PAD’s novel of same which is listed here. (It’s an audio adaptation of a novel adaptation of a comic!) We generally don’t list adaptations or abridgements of works already listed here. But I’m looking forward to the first full-cast audio of one of Peter’s books!
When is the third book in the Hidden Earth chronicles coming up?
Does anyone know if Mr. David is going to write the novelization of “Transformers Age Of Extinction”? He wrote the novelization for “Transformers Dark Of The Moon”.
Not to my knowledge.
PAD
What’s your source on that new New Frontier novel?
Peter announced it at Shore Leave and Dragon Con this year.
Actually he has a 3-book deal for 3 more NF novels.
Yay!
I picked up a copy of your book, The Avengers Vault. Fun read! I thought there would be more on the other early Avengers instead of just the big five. Are you planning on doing a second book, with sections on Giant Man, Hawkeye, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch? Thanks!
In Secret Wars 2099, I didn’t appreciate Peter David perpetrating misandry by having Hercules being admonished for being a womanizer. How about writing stories showing women being inappropriate against men and a male character punches the woman for touching him without his consent. I am tired of the media portraying women ans infallible simple for being born women and all men are dogs. In real life women are just as much perverts as men, but the media(which is mainly produced by women) ignores the cases when women s-exaually abuse males.
Re: Hermes Press Phantom series
When is issues 4,5,and 6 scheduled to be released? No mention of their release on Hermes Press site, Diamond, or here. Help!
I was fortunate enough to meet Peter & Caroline at Dragon*Con 2015 in the Comics Alley. They were both delightful and chatted with my mom & I for quite a while. We ended up getting Fearless for our dog sitter (who is an 11 year old girl) and they both were kind enough to sign it for us. Since then we’ve realized that we have several other adventurous little girls who would love this book and I heard about the accident so I was hoping there was a way I could get paperbacks more directly than Amazon. Blessings to the whole David family; it was a pleasure to meet you all.

Just wanted to let you know peter how much I’ve appreciated your work on x-factor. I remember the first time i heard of x-factor I honestly thought it was kinda ridiculous. I have since read through x-factor investigation and all new x-factor. Honestly I never thought I’d like Layla, but now she’s in my top 5. Madrox? a stupid mutant, but now i see him as a leader. Havok was just a plot device, but now I see him as a interesting character with real struggles. Polaris is more than just another Magneto to me. Seriously you have made that team into one of my favorites. Thank you for all of the time and effort that you’ve put into these characters. I hope that you will eventually bring these characters to life once again in another series.
Any more Fallen Angel stories on the horizon?
I recently played catch-up & just realized that there hasn’t been a new Fallen Angel story since Return of the Son in 2011.
I know you’ve had your health issues & it’s perfectly understandable if you can’t squeeze in Fallen Angel stories, but I am a curious fan (and then some!).
Just wanted to express a random thought in my head. If Sliney ever has to stop penciling Spider-Man 2099, I think Phil Noto would be a solid replacement and would fit the series well.
Mr. David,
I’m a big fan of your Trek work, so thanks for all you do!
I recently read “Howling Mad” and was struck by the similarity to work by the award-winning children’s author Daniel Manus Pinkwater. If not for the sex and violence, it could be his work. This is actually a tremendous compliment — he is my favorite children’s author. You two should get together to create some absolutely wild werewolf/monster/creature features. He does venture on occasion into the world of adults, so meet him there and make something amazing. The meeting of your two creative minds just might blow some socks off.
Any idea when the next Hidden Earth book will be coming out?
I was just curious if the eBooks “The Returned” will be published in print. I’m not an owner of an eReader but a HUGE fan of the “New Frontier” books. Please.
Thanks.
