Doctor Who and the Daleks (short story)

Doctor Who and the Daleks is the collective name for two 1964 short stories told on a series of 50 cards included with Dr Who and the Daleks sweet cigarettes, manufactured by Cadet Sweets.

Story one (cards 1-25)
The First Doctor goes to the planet Marinus where the Daleks are at war with the Voord. He watches the battle collapse after the two sides agree to go to Earth to find a mysterious power source. The new allies capture the Doctor and force him to divulge the secret of Ultkron travel, or how to travel through time.

En route to the Solar system, the Doctor unsuccessfully tries to sabotage the Voord ship. The Voord eject him into the vacuum of space, but the Daleks use their hoverbouts to rescue him. They secret him to their part of the Voord ship.

The Doctor then tries to send a warning to Earth. He successfully transmits to Earth Space Station, but he is re-imprisoned by the Daleks before he can fully explain. Earth officials dismiss the Dalek attack as unlikely, and do not prepare an adequate defence.

As the ship approaches Earth, the Doctor overhears that the Daleks intend to destroy the Voord. The Doctor shares this information with the Chief Voord, who is more than surprised to see the Doctor back on his ship. All Daleks onboard, save one in seclusion, are rounded up. A battle ensues which rips apart the ship. The Doctor uses an escape capsule to fly to the freedom of Earth. Unbeknownst to him, the Chief Voord is also aboard the escape capsule. As the craft enters Earth's atmosphere, they notice that several Daleks have survived the explosion of the Voord ship, and are now, like them, bound for South America and the "Great Power".

Continuity

 * This story specifically equates hoverbout with transolar disc. This is somewhat unusual, since most later Dalek fiction calls a hovabout a transolar disc, but a hoverbout a kind of intra-planetary shuttlecraft that is crewed by multiple Daleks and has scientific equipment aboard.
 * The Dalek's reluctance to speak until the Doctor arrives bears similarities to Dalek.
