Publisher's summary
For over forty years, the Doctor has battled against the monsters and villains of the universe. This book, by Doctor Who expert Justin Richards, brings together the best — or rather the worst — of his enemies.

Discover why the Daleks are so deadly; how the Yeti invade London; the secret of the Loch Ness monster; and how the Cybermen have survived. Learn who the Master is, and — above all — how the Doctor defeats them all.
