Through a Space-Time Visualiser the Doctor and his companions are horrified to see an execution squad of Daleks about to keep Skaro on a mission to find the TARDIS and exterminate the time travellers. Eluding the Daleks within the barren world Aridius the Doctor and his close friends escape in the TARDIS. But that is only the start of an epic trip. Because they travel through space and time, they try to shake off their pursuers by making some arbitrary landings – however the Daleks don’t give up easily. That is a run after towards the loss of life… Maureen O’Brien, who played Vicki in the original Doctor Who Television serial, reads John Peel’s complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Focus on Books in 1989.
