Dan Abnett is the writer of many acclaimed ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' tie-in novels, including such series as ''Literature/GauntsGhosts'' and its spinoff ''Double Eagle'', ''Literature/{{Eisenhorn}}'', and ''Literature/{{Ravenor}}'', as well as ''Horus Rising'', ''Legion'' and ''Prospero Burns'' in the ''Literature/HorusHeresy'' series and the standalone ''Literature/BrothersOfTheSnake''. He's widely considered the best author of the franchise, and even those who snub ''40k'' fiction will usually add "...except Dan Abnett." He was even appointed to write the story for the ''Ultramarines'' movie.

Abnett and his writing partner, Andy Lanning (FanNickname: D'n'A), have written many comics together, including a well-regarded run on an incarnation of the ''ComicBook/{{Legion Of Super-Heroes}}''. They wrote the fourth ''Comicbook/{{Nova}}'' and the second ''Guardians Of The Galaxy'' series and several [[BatFamilyCrossover Space Crossovers]] for Creator/MarvelComics, including ''ComicBook/AnnihilationConquest'', ''WarOfKings'' and ''TheThanosImperative'', as well as ''ComicBook/TheAuthority'' for Creator/{{Wildstorm}}. In Britain, he has contributed extensively to ''[[ComicBook/TwoThousandAD 2000 AD]]'', including a large number of ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' stories, and is the creator and primary writer of ''SinisterDexter'' and ''ComicBook/{{Kingdom}}''. He's also written alone for ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'', and published a number of unrelated novels, including the recent {{steampunk}}/modern fantasy novel ''Triumff - Her Majesty's Hero'' and the military sci-fi novel ''{{Embedded}}''.

Abnett has also written several comics, books, and audio plays in the Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse (both ''Series/DoctorWho'' and ''Series/{{Torchwood}}''), including the bridging part of the multi-author book ''The Story of Martha'' (set during "the year that never was" between "[[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS3E12TheSoundOfDrums The Sound of Drums]]" and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS3E13LastOfTheTimeLords Last of the Time Lords]]"), as well as a ''Series/{{Primeval}}'' tie-in novel.

Recently worked with Andy Lanning on Creator/IDWPublishing's CrossThrough ''Infestation'', which involves a ZombieApocalypse spreading through ''Covert Vampiric Operations'', IDW's ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'' and ''Franchise/GIJoe'' continuities, ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}'' and the Franchise/StarTrekExpandedUniverse. Abnett and Lanning are also cooperating on a new ''Heroes For Hire'' series ongoing for Creator/MarvelComics.
