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 portrayal of the Master and [[Peter Pratt]]'s decaying version of the same villain, wherein the Master is severely deformed by his own [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]] and left in a moribund state. | This novel is the second and final novel of BBC Books' Eighth Doctor range to feature the Daleks and outright call them as such.

[[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]], [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]] finds himself in Domain [[London]]. But it seems that Susan is now missing too, and his efforts to find her lead to a confrontation with the ambitious [[Lord Haldoran]], who is poised to take control of southern England through all-out war. With the help of a [[The Master|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? | While searching for his lost companion, [[Sam Jones|Sam]], [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]] finds himself in Domain [[London]].
