Peter Theodor Krämer

In addition to some independent SF stories that appeared in the series Utopia Zukunftsroman or Utopia Großband , Krämer was also involved in three series with related narrative strands that competed with the extremely successful Perry-Rhodan published by Moewig Verlag - Series. Starting in 1963, these were the Mark Powers series by Pabel Verlag , where Krämer used the pseudonym Peter Theodor. Krämer's contributions to the Ren-Dhark series of Kelter Verlag appeared under the pseudonym Cal Canter. The third series Spaceship Promet , where Krämer wrote three novels under the pseudonym PT Hooker, was designed by Kurt Brand like Ren Dhark and was published by Astro-Verlag. In addition to his SF work, Krämer also wrote twenty novels in the crime series Schwarze Fledermaus as Peter Theodor between 1969 and 1972 . Most recently, in 1979, he wrote two novels as W.
