Masters of Earth was the one hundred and ninety-third story in Big Finish's monthly range.

Publisher's summary

The year is 2163. Ten years since the Daleks invaded the Earth. One year until the Doctor, in his first incarnation, will help bring the occupation to an end. But for now, their reign of terror goes on.

TARDIS brings the Doctor and Peri to Scotlandenslaved, like everywhere else on the planet. But there are rumours of Dalek-free islands off its coast. Places where resistors and refuseniks are coming together, gathering arms and armour, preparing to strike back against the enemy.

When the Doctor falls in with an unlikely group of freedom fighters making that dangerous journey to Orkney, he finds himself trapped – but not only by the Daleks, their robotised henchmen and their human collaborators.

By history.

Because history shows that for another year, resistance is useless...

The rebellion must fail – and as a Time Lord, the Doctor can do nothing to help.

Companions

  • The Doctor reminds Peri that she was born in Baltimore to Paul and Janine Brown.
  • The Doctor recalls visiting Scrabster Harbour with Dodo in 1947, in which he assisted a weapons convoy when he encountered a Slavian scout ship.

The Daleks

Earth

  • There is a strong resistance movement in the Orkney islands, 100 miles from where the Doctor and Peri are. The Daleks have wiped out much of the Highlands.
  • There have been resistance movements in Australia and China, but these were crushed by the Daleks within days.
  • The Daleks have set-up plantations of Varga plants on Earth.
  • Peri remembers Boston Harbour.

Concepts

Textless cover art

Notes

  • The story's title is often quoted by the Daleks:
  • Taking place in 2163, which is stated to be a year before the invasion ends, the story explicitly dates the Dalek invasion as happening between 2152 (when the meteorite bombardment began, as far as Kyle is able to recall, although his memory is a bit fuzzy) and 2164, based off the calendar the Doctor and Ian find in The Dalek Invasion of Earth. This is at odds with other stories including The Daleks' Master Plan, GodEngine, Lucifer Rising and The Mutant Phase, which date the invasion in the ten years between 2157 and 2167.
