Doctor Who: The Evil of the Daleks

2nd Doctor Novelisation

Summary

Frazer Hines reads his own adaptation of a classic adventure for the Doctor and Jamie.

Young astrophysicist Zoe wishes to join Jamie and the Doctor on their travels. To give her fair warning of the dangers she may face, the Doctor uses a mind projector to share one of their most harrowing adventures…

And so, Jamie is forced to relive his struggle against the evil Daleks at their most powerful and calculating. In a complex plot that drags him from modern-day London to Victorian times and finally to the Dalek world of Skaro, he endures ordeals that test his courage, strength – and his friendship with the Doctor – to the limit…

An inventive new retelling of one of Doctor Who’s all-time classic TV stories from Frazer Hines, who starred as the show’s longest-running companion, Jamie McCrimmon.
