This is Doctor Who’s first exciting adventure – with the Daleks! Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright travel with the mysterious Doctor Who and his granddaughter, Susan, to the planet of Skaro in the space-time machine, the TARDIS. There they strive to save the peace-loving Thals from the evil intentions of the hideous Daleks. Can they succeed? And, what is more important, will they ever see their native Earth again?
William Russell, who created the role of Ian in the original television series of Doctor Who, reads David Whitaker’s complete and unabridged novelisation, first published in hardback in 1964. The book went on to spearhead the Target Books range of Doctor Who titles, and it is one of the best-loved novelisations to be based on the programme.
