The Doctor and The Daleks make for fantastic telly and now for a great Quick read. This adventure finds them back on Earth, by mistake of course, and face to face with an enemy we all thought had been destroyed. Quick thinking, quick wit and nerves of steel abound.
Equipped with space suits, golf clubs and a flag, the Doctor and Rose are planning to live it up, Apollo mission-style, on the Moon. But the TARDIS has other plans, landing them instead in a village on the south coast of England; a picture-postcard sort of place where nothing much happens. Until now...
An archaeological dig has turned up a Roman mosaic, circa AD 70, depicting mythical scenes, grapes – and a Dalek. A few days later a young woman, rushing for work, is knocked over and killed by a bus, then comes back to life.
It’s not long before all hell breaks loose, and the Doctor and Rose must use all their courage and cunning against an alien enemy – and a not-quite-alien accomplice – who are intent on destroying humanity.
