Justin
Richards is one of my favourite Who writers, whose books include The Deviant
Strain featuring Captain Jack Harkness with the 9th Doctor and
Rose. Justin is also known for his works
outside of Who such as The Wolfstone Curse and The Never War – The Suicide
Exhibition. Read the interview we had
with him last year. http://projecttorchwood.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/interviews-justin-richards.html
