{{real world}} | {{real world}}'''Lance Parkin''' is an author who has written professional ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fiction since the 1990s. He is one of the few authors to write for both the 1963 and 2005 version of the programme — though much of his fiction has actually been based on the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|1996 iteration]]. Indeed, he was notably the first author to write original prose for the [[Eighth Doctor]] in ''[[The Dying Days (novel)|The Dying Days]]''. He was also the author chosen to deliver the nominal 35th anniversary story, ''[[The Infinity Doctors (novel)|The Infinity Doctors]]'', and the final volume in the [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] range, ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]''. More recently, he has written for the [[Tenth Doctor]] in ''[[The Eyeless (novel)|The Eyeless]]''. | ||

{{quote|I like the book, and at the time I was preparing the original submission (Autumn [[1993]]), it was one of the best of the range. It's still very popular - which is why the blurb I wrote for ''Just War'' makes it sound like a sequel! There were problems, though: my main criticism being the depiction of [[Hitler]]. The frightening thing, to my mind, is that Hitler wasn't possessed by the devil or the [[Timewyrm]]; he was just an ordinary man.

That is much scarier than the thought he's been hypnotised by aliens. ...Hitler, of course, isn't mentioned once in Just War — I wanted to try and explore the Nazi mentality without needing to refer to him."|[http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com/archive/tsv48/lanceparkin.html TSV 48 Lance Parkin interview by Paul Scoones]}} | ||
