Ben Aaronovitch was born in London in 1964 and grew up with the kind of boring routine that leads a man to drink or to write science fiction. He is a screenwriter who rose to prominence thanks to his work on BBC television's iconic Doctor Who, for which he penned certain episodes that are now widely recognized as classics and which he himself enjoys. He's also the author of a number of innovative TV tie-in novels. After a decade of this type of work, he thought it was time to show the world what he was capable of, and he began writing his first serious original novel. As a result, Peter Grant's first adventure, Midnight Riot, was published, followed by Moon Over Soho.
