The Great Period Battle has raged for centuries, ravaging the universe. Scores of individual colony planets are actually overrun by Dalek job pushes. A weary, upset Doctor leads a flotilla of Fight TARDISes against the Dalek stronghold but in the midst of the carnage, the Doctor’s TARDIS crashes to a planet below: Moldox. As the Doctor is trapped within an apocalyptic scenery, Dalek patrols roam between the wreckage, rounding up the rest of the civilians. But why haven’t the Daleks merely killed the human beings? Searching for answers the physician meets ‘Cinder’, a young Dalek hunter. Their problems to find the Dalek strategy take them through the ruins of Moldox to the halls of Gallifrey, and set in place a chain of events that will switch everything. And everyone. Read by Nicholas Briggs, the ‘voice of the Daleks’ in Doctor Who, this epic novel of the fantastic Time War features the Battle Doctor as played by John Hurt in the hit BBC TV series.
