1977 edition

The TARDIS lands in a London of future times — a city of fear, devastation and holocaust… a city now ruled by DALEKS.

The Doctor and his companions meet a team of underground resistance workers, among the few survivors, but after an unsuccessful attack on the Dalek spaceship, they are all forced to flee the capital.

A perilous journey through England finally brings them to the secret centre of Dalek operations… and the mysterious reason for the Dalek invasion of Earth!

Novelisation

• This novelisation is based on The Dalek Invasion of Earth.

In the absence of an accurate photo reference, the Roboman and Dalek Saucer shown on the cover resembles (though not exactly) those from the film Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD.See below for information on other UK and international editions which published with a different cover.

Deviations from the Televised Story

• The Doctor's famous farewell speech to Susan is different.
• The Black Dalek is larger than the other Daleks.
