I Am a Dalek (novel)

I am a Dalek by Gareth Roberts was the inaugural Doctor Who Quick Reads novella.

Publisher’s summary
Equipped with space suits, golf clubs, and a flag, the Doctor and Rose are planning to live it up, Apollo mission-style, on the Moon. But the TARDIS has other plans, landing them instead in a village on the south coast of England; a picture-postcard sort of place where nothing much happens. Until now...

An archaeological dig has turned up a Roman mosaic, circa 70 AD, depicting mythical scenes, grapes - and a Dalek. A few days later a young woman, rushing for work, is knocked over and killed by a bus, then comes back to life. It's not long before all hell breaks loose, and the Doctor and Rose must use all their courage and cunning against an alien enemy - and a not-quite-human accomplice - who are intent on destroying humanity.

Continuity

 * This is the Tenth Doctor's first encounter with the Daleks. He would later encounter them in TV: Army of Ghosts/Doomsday, Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks, The Stolen Earth/Journey's End, COMIC: Carnage Zoo/Flight and Fury/The Living Ghosts/Extermination of the Daleks, and PROSE: Prisoner of the Daleks.
 * This isn't the first time the Daleks attempted to use modified humans as puppets: The Fifth Doctor had already faced Dalek duplicates in Resurrection of the Daleks; The Dalek Emperor had managed to produce pure-blood Daleks from human DNA in The Parting of the Ways; Dalek Sec had turned himself into the first Dalek-human hybrid as an experiment to convert all humans to Daleks in Daleks in Manhattan; and the Eleventh Doctor was captured by a Dalek puppet and met Oswin, an echo of Clara Oswald, who had suffered a complete Dalek-conversion in Asylum of the Daleks.
