Legacy of the Daleks was the tenth BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures novel. It featured the Eighth Doctor, Susan Foreman, the Master and the Daleks. This novel is the second and final novel of BBC Books' Eighth Doctor range to feature the Daleks. Like the first, War of the Daleks, it was written by John Peel.

Publisher's Summary

England in the late 22nd century is slowly recovering from the devastation that followed the Daleks' invasion. The Doctor's very first travelling companion -- his granddaughter, Susan -- is where he left her, helping to rebuild Earth for the survivors. But danger still remains all around...

While searching for his lost companion, Sam, the Doctor finds himself in Domain London. But it seems that Susan is now missing too, and his efforts to find her lead to confrontation with the ambitious Lord Haldoran, who is poised to take control of southern England through all-out war. With the help of a sinister advisor, Haldoran's plans are already well advanced. Power cables have been fed down a mineshaft, reactivating a mysterious old device of hideous power. But has the Dalek presence on Earth really been wiped out? Or are there still traps set for the unwary?

The Doctor learns to his cost once again that when dealing with the evil of the Daleks, nothing can be taken at face value...

Daleks

  • DA-17 is the designation of one area of Dalek technology left from their invasion.
  • Being inside the Dalek artefact reminds Susan of Skaro and the Daleks' city.
  • The Daleks from the Dalek Artefact begin creating robomen.
  • The Master mentions the Dalek Prime.

Individuals

  • The Master uses the name 'Estro', which is Esperanto for 'Master'.
  • Peace Officers are a group of people who investigate and make safe artefacts and remnants of the Dalek invasion.
  • David and Susan name their adoptive children Ian, Barbara and David junior (most likely after Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright).
  • The Doctor considers altering the past (and goes back in time before Susan sent her message) to help her. (This would have been a temporal paradox had he succeeded).
  • The Doctor tells Donna about fighting Daleks, Cybermen and Ice Warriors.
  • The Master is using Draconian technology whilst on Earth.
  • Susan thinks she kills the Master on the planet Tersurus.
  • Rodan makes a brief appearance during a scene set on Gallifrey.

Notes

  • The 'version' of the Master featured in this story is as Roger Delgado portrayed him.
  • The Doctor and the Master speak a couple of sentences in Esperanto each on page 138-139, though no translation is given in the novel.
"Doktoro, Mi ĝojas ke vi estas tiu kiun mi bezonis por kompletigi la ludon."
The Doctor spun around to stare at the newcomer. "Tiam kiam mi audis la nomon 'Estro', mi opiniis ke tiu devas esti vi. Via vanteco estos la fino de vi, estro de malbonestroj."

Translation:

"Doctor, I am so happy, you are the one I needed to complete the game."
The Doctor spun around to stare at the newcomer. "That time I heard the name 'Master', I thought it had to be you. Your vanity will be the end of you, master of masters of evil."

According to one account, the Master had the appearance of Roger Delgado while on Gallifrey. According to another, he had Anthony Ainley's likeness. According to another one, the one with James Dreyfus's appearance was the incarnation who ran away from Gallifrey.

Divided Loyalties, A Brief History of Time Lords and The Legions of Death feature, or otherwise acknowledge, the War Chief, but in the process contradicted the notion put forward by other stories that he was an incarnation of the Master.

One account suggests that the incarnation portrayed by Roger Delgado may be the same as the one portrayed by Peter Pratt while some others distinguish them.

According to one account, the incarnation portrayed by Gordon Tipple is the one portrayed by Anthony Ainley, while some others state that the Ainley one was already lost by then.

While fighting to extend his life at the end of his regeneration cycle, many bodies were possessed by the Beevers incarnation, but all kept somehow reverting to his real being until he finally regenerated into the MacQueen one. Hence, these sections cannot be strictly chronological
