'''''Legacy of the Daleks''''' was the tenth novel in the [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures]] series. It was written by [[John Peel]], released [[6 April (releases)|6 April]] [[1998 (releases)|1998]] and featured the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Susan Foreman]]. | |||
This novel is the second and final novel of BBC Books' Eighth Doctor range to feature the Daleks and outright call them as such. Like the first, ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'', it was written by Peel. Later books like ''[[Father Time (novel)|Father Time]]'' and ''[[Sometime Never... (novel)|Sometime Never]]'' clearly depicted their casings, but those novels did not outright use the word "Dalek." ''Legacy'' also bridges the gap between [[Roger Delgado]]'s [[The Master (Terror of the Autons)|portrayal of the Master]] and [[Peter Pratt]]'s [[Decayed Master|decaying version]] of the same villain, wherein the Master is severely deformed by his own [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]] and left in a moribund state. | |||
However, later accounts would contradict this, more specifically the [[DWM]] comic strip ''[[Doorway to Hell (comic story)|Doorway to Hell]]'' showing Delgado's incarnation regenerating and the [[Big Finish]] audio story ''[[The Two Masters (audio story)|The Two Masters]]'', featuring Beevers' incarnation before he was severely burnt. | |||

[[First Doctor|The Doctor's]] very first travelling companion — his granddaughter, [[Susan Foreman|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 Jones|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?

* The plot of the book was based on a fanfiction that [[John Peel]] had written in the late 1970s for the ''Comic Masque'' fanzine, in which it was followed by the story ''Fragments from a Shattered Mind''.<ref>[https://rassilon-imprimatur.tumblr.com/post/658638459174567936/the-promised-and-ambitious-conclusion-to-this Jayce Black on Tumblr]</ref> | |||
* The third edition of ''[[AHistory]]'' speculates that the events of this novel became an [[alternate timeline]] when [[the Monk]] and the [[Dalek Time Controller]] rewrote history to enable a second Dalek invasion in the 2180s, as seen in ''[[Lucie Miller (audio story)|Lucie Miller]]'' and ''[[To the Death (audio story)|To the Death]]'', but admits that this doesn't explain how Susan can have a child with David, or how the Master ended up on Tersurus in his decayed form. | |||

* [[Black Dalek|Black]] and [[Red Dalek]]s appear. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'') | |||
* The circumstances of the Master's disfigurement are given a different account in ''[[The Two Masters (audio story)|The Two Masters]]'', in which the Master's disfigured state is the result of a confrontation with his own future self. However, since the novel only depicts the Master being thrown from his TARDIS and later being discovered by Goth, rather than explicitly stating that he is reduced to his crippled state by the destruction of his equipment, this suggests that the two can be reconciled with the assumption that the younger Master survived Susan's attack unharmed and found another TARDIS to begin his raid on the Terserus compound before being attacked by his future self. | |||
