Rest in Peace Peter David (aka David Peters)

I am genuinely saddened to learn about the passing yesterday (May 24, 2025) of Peter David, the author who wrote the Photon adventure novels under the pseudonym name of David Peters.

This man had an influence on me through these books in a larger way than what many may know. Even though my first awareness of laser tag (as a child) was through the Photon television series and I didn’t play until many years later, I distinctly remember reading one of his novels and thinking to myself (while in my 20s) “I wonder if there’s a place where I can do that now?” And that was the very first time I looked into finding a local laser tag arena. His books were in no small way the catalyst to me playing my first game of laser tag.

While I know that this should read “Rest in peace Peter David” I cannot help but also write “Rest in peace David Peters…and thank you.”
