Novelisation
Edit
- This novelisation is based on The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
- The cover and information on the right are for the original Target edition. It featured the artwork of Chris Achilleos. In the absence of an accurate photo reference, the Roboman and Dalek Saucer shown on the cover resemble those from the film Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.. See below for information on editions with different covers.
- The Dalek has its gun stalk swapped with its plunger.

1977 edition
Edit
The TARDIS lands in a London of future times — a city of fear, devastation and holocaust… a city now ruled by DALEKS.
The Doctor and his companions meet a team of underground resistance workers, among the few survivors, but after an unsuccessful attack on the Dalek spaceship, they are all forced to flee the capital.
A perilous journey through England finally brings them to the secret centre of Dalek operations… and the mysterious reason for the Dalek invasion of Earth!
