Cover blurb
THE DOCTOR AND ROMANA HAVE LANDED ON SKARO, THE HOME WORLD OF THE DREADED DALEKS...

Landing on an apparently devastated world, they come upon a horrifying discovery.

The Daleks are excavating in order to find and revive Davros, the mad, crippled scientific genius whose twisted mind first created them. They hope that he will give them the scientific superiority to break the deadlock with their Movellan enemies.

Faced once more with the deadly and seemingly indestructable Daleks, the Doctor's wits and strength are stretched to their very limits.

This is a novelization by Terrance Dicks, whose name is almost synonymous with Doctor Who, of an original script by Terry Nation - the real creator of the Daleks.
