John J. Ordover
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John J. Ordover is an editor at Phobos Books, a publishing firm specializing in science fiction.
He was previously an editor at Pocket Books responsible for overseeing the licensed novels of the Star Trek franchise. He is the co-creator of such spinoff series as Star Trek: New Frontier (with writer Peter David), and Star Trek: Challenger (with Diane Carey).
According to Peter David, the basic concept for New Frontier was Ordover's, as was the notion of using several already existing characters, with David having fleshed out the concept and created the original characters.[3]
With David Mack, Ordover wrote the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes "Starship Down". The two have story credit on "It's Only a Paper Moon", which was written as a teleplay by Ronald D. Moore.
