Encyclopedia

franchise. They have written several books both within and outside of Star Trek, and acted as executive story editors and co-producers on the fourth season of the series Star Trek: Enterprise
. Both of them are amongst the series writers who had cameos in "These Are the Voyages...", the final episode of Enterprise.
Previously, they acted as staff writers and supervising producers in the second and third seasons of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, and wrote episodes of Batman: The Animated Series
, Beyond Reality, Catwalk
, Phantom 2040
, The Hitchhiker, and John Woo’s Once a Thief
. They also wrote Van Helsing: The London Assignment
for Universal Animation Studios
.
Before branching into Star Trek, fantasy, and mainstream thrillers with Judith, Garfield wrote five novels blending horror and technology, prompting Stephen King
to say, "Garfield Reeves-Stevens is the Tom Clancy
of horror." One of those novels, Children of the Shroud, is credited by New York Magazine as being the first to feature a storyline based on cloning Jesus.

spin-off television series, as part of a franchise deal with Omni Film Productions.
