David Alan Mack is a writer best known for his freelance Star Trek novels. Mack also has had a Star Trek script produced, and worked on a Star Trek comic book.
[edit] Early career
Mack broke into screenwriting with co-writer John J. Ordover, with whom he scripted the fourth-season Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Starship Down". Their story pitch for a fourth-season script evolved into the seventh-season episode "It's Only a Paper Moon", for which the pair received a "story by" credit.
Mack and Ordover wrote the four-part Deep Space Nine/Next Generation comic book miniseries Divided We Fall for WildStorm. With Keith R.A. DeCandido, Mack co-wrote the two-part Starfleet Corps of Engineers (SCE) e-book story Invincible.
[edit] Solo work
Mack's first solo project was the two-part SCE e-book novel Wildfire. His other SCE e-books are Failsafe and Small World. He next wrote the short stories "Waiting for G'Doh, or, How I Learned to Stop Moving and Hate People" for the anthology Star Trek: New Frontier: No Limits; and "Twilight's Wrath" for the anthology Star Trek: Tales of the Dominion War.
Mack's first direct-to-paperback novels were a Star Trek: The Next Generation duology: A Time To Kill and A Time To Heal. Mack also wrote Harbinger, the first volume of the Star Trek: Vanguard novel series, which he co-developed with editor Marco Palmieri.
Other work includes the Star Trek: New Frontier minipedia, the Starfleet Survival Guide, and the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine post-finale novel Warpath. His announced projects for 2006 and 2007 include the Wolverine novel Road of Bones (November 2006); the Mirror Universe short novel The Sorrows of Empire, part of Star Trek: Mirror Universe – Glass Empires (February 2007); and Reap the Whirlwind, the third book in the Star Trek Vanguard saga (June 2007).
Mack lives in New York City with his wife, Kara.
