Publisher's summary

Deep within a drilling rig on planet XB93, its crew has been suffering nightmares: dreams of cold, metallic creatures, stalking them through the base, killing them as they sleep. Fortunately for the crew, the Daleks' own worst nightmare has just arrived – and he goes by the name of the Doctor.
