Synopsis

The first Doctor, his first encounter with the Daleks, in a new facsimile edition of the long-out-of-print original 1960s edition. A thick fog and a girl in distress are just the things that Ian Chesterton needs to escape from a life of dull routine. He has no idea that this is merely a prelude to an advernture quite beyond any normal conception of the word. Both he and the girl he tries to help, Barbara Wright, are transported to a distant planet named Skaro by a mysterious old man known to them as the Doctor. With his grand-daughter Susan, the Doctor sets them down in a world all but destroyed by atomic warfare, the only survivors being a peace-loving and cultured people called the Thals and their bitter enemies the Daleks, horribly mutated both in body and mind.

About this title

Book Description:

The First Doctor, his first encounter with the Daleks, in a new facsimile edition of the long-out-of-print original 1960s edition.

From the Back Cover:

'The voice was all on one level, without any expression at all,
a dull monotone that still managed to convey a
terrible sense of evil...'

The mysterious Doctor and his granddaughter Susan are joined
by unwilling adventurers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright in an epic
struggle for survival on an alien planet.

In a vast metal city they discover the survivors of a terrible nuclear war -
the Daleks. Held captive in the deepest levels of the city, can the Doctor
and his new companions stop the Daleks' plan to totally exterminate
their mortal enemies, the peace-loving Thals? More importantly, even
if they can escape from the Daleks, will Ian and Barbara ever see their
home planet Earth again?

This novel is based on the second Doctor Who story which
was originally broadcast from 21 December 1963-1 February
1964. This was the first ever Doctor Who novel, originally
published in 1964.

Featuring the First Doctor as played by William Hartnell, and his
companions Susan, Ian and Barbara
