Review: As with most things written, this novelization of the Remembrance of the Daleks is far better than the TV episode. Insights into Dalek culture, thinking and even language, the "historical comments" on the Daleks, and the flashbacks into main characters lives really bring this book to life. Omega, Rassilon, Davros; they're all here. I bought it when it was first released and have read it many times. A must have for any Who or Scifi fan.

Summary: Excellent Reading
Review: The Doctor and Ace arrive on Earth in 1963, where the Doctor has unfinished business - left over from his stay in Shoreditch with his granddaughter Susan. He is setting a trap for the Daleks - but why are there more than one group of Daleks on 1960s Earth?A great new start to the Seventh Doctor's second season sees the Doctor becoming far more complex and assured, and uses the English army and its scientific advisers to get to what he wants. But the two Dalek factions are rather more than he bargained for, and there are several more complicated factors in the story. Ben Aaronovitch wrote this fabulous story for TV, and betters it with the novelisation. He expands considerably on the original story, establishing some elements that survived considerably beyond the book, and making a very readable addition to the Doctor Who range of books. This is also the best Dalek story for a long time, and should be appreciated. Certainly worth you going out of your way to find!

Summary: Fantastic, Amazing and Brilliant
Review: This has got to be the best Dr Who book I have ever read. It is very well written and provides a fascinating insight into the way Daleks think. It also is very interesting to see the 1960's british army fighting them. The Doctor is typically mysterious while showing a number of his other character traits and a side of him not often seen. Ace makes a great companion for him. The Daleks are after the "Hand of Omega". Stick around for the ending because it is excellent. 5 stars!
