Doctor Who and the Dalek Invasion of Earth (novelisation)

1977 edition
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!
