Bureau of Lost

Eerie, Indiana #2

by John Peel

Down at the Lost & Found Department in Eerie, something's missing: the Missing People! A power failure has released them from their cryogenic storage chambers, and now Jesse James, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Amelia Earhart and many more are on the loose -- and Marshall and Simon have to get them back. What's worse, some of the world's greatest political criminal minds are getting together for the crime of the century -- only the century they have in mind is over, and they'll be so mad when they find out. If the boys don't think of something fast, these crooks are going to rob a train loaded with gold bullion and escape the Lost & Found -- and Eerie -- once and for all!!

About the author

John Peel is the author of Doctor Who books and comic strips. Notably, he wrote the first original Doctor Who novel, Timewyrm: Genesys, to launch the Virgin New Adventures line. In the early 1990s he was commissioned by Target Books to write novelisations of several key Terry Nation Dalek stories of the 1960s after the rights were finally worked out. He later wrote several more original Daleks novels.

He has the distinction of being one of only three authors credited on a Target novelisation who had not either written a story for the TV series or been a part of the production team (the others were Nigel Robinson and Alison Bingeman).

Outside of Doctor Who, Peel has also written novels for the Star Trek franchise. Under the pseudonym "John Vincent", he wrote novelisations based upon episodes of the 1990s TV series James Bond Jr..
