Cover blurb
An early, unedited classic in two parts featuring William Hartnell as the original Doctor in his very first terrifying encounter with the Daleks - destined to become his deadliest enemies.

When the Doctor and his companions find themselves on a dead planet, a distant glimpse of a magnificant city arouses the Doctor's ruthless curiosity and puts them all in grave danger. On inspection the city seems deserted but they make two lethal discoveries: the planet is radioactive and the subterranean corridors conceal a terrible menace... the Daleks.

Captured and suffering from radiation sickness all seems lost. Strangely Susan is allowed to fetch essential drugs from the Tardis, but the Daleks are using her as bait to trap the Thals, a 'mutated' race living above ground. The Daleks must be stopped but the Doctor is dying and Susan has not yet returned...
