The prolific writer has been behind a ton of franchises, including Babylon 5, Star Trek, Wolverine and Young Justice. In fact, Peter David, along with John J. Ordover, were the pair who created the standalone Star Trek novel series New Frontier.
Peter David announced the news that he would be writing the man in the iron suit’s novel on his official blog;
The major project at the moment is one that I've not announced before this: I'm writing the novelization for the upcoming "Iron Man" movie which will be hitting theater in May of 2008. The novelization will be published by Del Rey. The deadline on the book is tight, but I should have no trouble hitting it. Rock solid script (although naturally I can't go into any details.)
If you didn’t have any faith in the movie, at least take Peter David’s word for it. The man knows how to tell a story!
