Publisher's Summary
Nicholas Briggs reads this brand new novelisation of a thrilling screen adventure for the Ninth Doctor and Rose.
The entire Dalek race, wiped out in one second. I watched it happen. I made it happen!
The Doctor and Rose arrive in an underground vault in Utah in the near future. The vault is filled with alien artefacts. Its billionaire owner, Henry van Statten, even has possession of a living alien creature, a mechanical monster in chains that he has named a Metaltron.
Seeking to help the Metaltron, the Doctor is appalled to find it is in fact a Dalek - one that has survived the horrors of the Time War, just as he has. And as the Dalek breaks loose, the Doctor is brought back to the brutality and desperation of his darkest hours spent fighting the creatures of Skaro...this time with the Earth as their battlefield.
Nicholas Briggs, who voices the Daleks in the BBC TV series, reads Robert Shearman's novelisation of his own 2005 TV script.
Reading produced by Neil Gardner.

Fantastic
The story gives an interesting insight into each character’s life. It offers a perspective that you haven’t considered before, and deepens the story brilliantly.

A New Take on a Masterful Episode
The Novelization of the Series 1 stories Dalek is one of those books that really shouldn't work. Writer Rob Shearman breaks a lot of Novel writing rules with his constant digressions from the main story as we're given multiple flashback scenes.
However, these vignettes actually are intriguing and keep the story going. His story of what a Dalek's infant's life is like is brutal, but never ceases to be engaging. The core story is the same as on TV but there are also a few changes as Van Staten becomes more key to the storyline.
Nicholas Briggs does yeoman's work with the reading, capturing all the raw emotion and numerous voices and all the emotional turmoil.
The one thing to wonder is how this book would land with those who hadn't seen the TV episode. The original Target novels served to introduce younger readers who hadn't seen the TV show to Doctor Who. It's hard to imagine this doing the same job.

absolutely amazing!
I thought Briggs did an okay Eccleston impression. He spoke a bit too slow at times but it never took me out of the story. Robert Shearman re-defined what it means to be a Dalek once again. overall a beautiful, insane, story, and I am all for it!!!

How the TV episode should have been
A wonderful expansion of this heartbreaking and profoundly disturbing tale, providing much more interesting character insights and new recurring themes tying it all together. One potential criticism, however, might be that Shearman seems rather uninterested in the Doctor and Rose - they feel a bit like extras in the story of the real main character, the titular Dalek.

A brilliant book, expands much more on episode
****SPOILERS****
I really enjoyed the tv episode of this story and the book explains in depth the story of the captured Dalek, Henry, Adam and all the other charectures backgrounds in the book, it was sweet and sad at the sme time, with the usual Dalek, Doctor interaction. I love all the 9th Doctor and Rose sories and this one is no exception. An absolute must read/listen. Brilliantly written and narrated 6 stars!!

Much more than the TV can expose.
Verisimilitude as Shearman weaves it. To quote Pratchett “we don’t do nice, we do right” [witches].

A good Dalek story
Nicholas Briggs is a excellent choice. He is voice of the Daleks and sounds a bit like the 9th Doctor. I think is one of the best new stories.
