David A. McIntee has passed away.

Some sad news to pass on; my colleague and fellow tie-in writer David A. McIntee passed away this weekend. It's my understanding he went into hospital for end-of-life care last week, but I don't know any other details.

Dave was probably best-known for his Doctor Who novels during the Virgin Publishing and early BBC Books eras, and Trek BBS folks will likely recall his work on the TNG novel Indistinguishable From Magic and short stories in The Sky's The Limit and Seven Deadly Sins anthologies. He also worked on tie-ins for Space: 1999, Final Destination and Stargate, among others.

Such sad news. He was much, much too young. My sympathies to his friends and loved ones.

This is quite shocking to hear and incredibly sad. My condolences.

The Dark Path, First Frontier and Face of the Enemy are among my favourite Doctor Who novels.

Condolences to his loved ones. I loved, loved, loved Indistinguishable From Magic.

He put La Forge on the Challenger and Dr Brahms‘ ring on Geordi‘s finger, where they belonged.

Rest in piece, Sir, and condolences to the family.

Such a shame. RIP to him. Enjoyed his work and his presence here.

 

[David Mack]

A talented man who has left us too soon. May his memory be for a blessing to all who knew him. RIP, David.

Though I have read and enjoyed his Star Trek work, most of my memories come from interactions I've had with him here on Trek BBS where he posted frequently here in the Trek Lit forum as well as the Doctor Who forum. He will me missed. RIP.

This really sad news, my sympathies to his family and friends. The timing of this is a little scary, because I just read his The Sky's The Limit story last week.
He was a great writer, Indistinguishable From Magic was fantastic, and On The Spot was on of my favorite stories in The Sky's the Limit. I don't really remember Reservoir Ferengi.

 

[Smiley]

I always enjoyed David's presence on TrekBBS, and he seemed like a cool human being. He will be missed.
