I Am a Dalek (novel)

I am a Dalek by Gareth Roberts is the first Doctor Who-related release in the BBC Books Quick Reads line of novellas. It uses the same cover format as the BBC Tenth Doctor Adventures line, except that it was published exclusively in paperback.

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 AD 70, 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.
