The Present- An archaeological dig in Northern France hopes to unearth the remains of a Bronze Age chieftain. But Professor Todd and her team find something much more recent, and much more dangerous - a crashed Dalek spaceship. The Doctor knows how the ship crashed - because he was there... But can he defeat an enemy that just keeps coming back from the dead? 1917- The Great War is at its fiercest. Hellcombe Hall is a house full of mystery- there are locked doors and forbidden rooms, dustsheets cover guilty secrets, the maid Mary Carter is scared of ghosts. And Corporal Anderson finds that his muddy corpse-filled trench ends in the drawing room. Armaments manufacturer Lord Hellcombe has a new secret weapon he believes will win the war. He claims to have invented the Dalek. Except, of course, that nothing is quite what it seems... The Doctor and his new friends must draw on every type of early 20th century technology and every element of human ingenuity and bravery if they are to prevent the entire Western Front of World War One from becoming part of the Dalek Project. A stunning new Graphic Novel from BBC Books, featuring the Doctor as played by Matt Smith in the hit series from BBC Television Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

As with a number of the recent Who novels, this is aimed at a slightly younger readership, with the Doctor's co-adventurers being three children rescued from a spaceship by him after their parents' death (no novel with Clara yet, as far as I know, although she has been on the show since April, or perhaps longer depending how you count). I was very interested to note that, like Malorie Blackman's The Ripple Effect published last month, The Dalek Generation presents a situation where the Daleks are perceived as a force for good rather than evil, with the Doctor frustrated in his attempts to warn against them. I do wonder if this is a subtle (or maybe even unsubtle) hint about a storyline we can expect for the two episodes due to air later this year.
That apart, it's quite a different story from Blackman's; it's clear to the reader from the first chapter that the Daleks really are evil here, but the story of what they are looking for, and how the Doctor and his traumatised young friends thwart their plans in the face of a wilfully ignorant totalitarian society which won't believe them, is nicely convoluted and also evocative of various previous Who stories. If you are happy to adjust for the target readership, it is very enjoyable. (
