Publisher's Cover Blurb

THE DALEKS TELL ME I’M GOING TO DO SOMETHING FOR THEM-SOMETHING I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN DO.
Stranded in Victorian London, separated from his TARDIS and forced to cooperate with the Daleks, it seems that the Doctor’s luck has finally run out.
The Daleks are searching for the elusive Human Factor, and want the Doctor to help them find it. With Victoria and Jamie held captive, the Doctor has no choice.
An army of Daleks stands poised to conquer the universe.
Will the Human Factor be their ultimate weapon?
This is a brand-new novelization of a classic Dalek story, and is the first story to feature Victoria as a companion.

Author, Writing and Publishing Notes

  • Along with The Power of the Daleks and The Paradise of Death, these last three titles were significantly different from previous titles and were regarded as a bridging point between the old Target range of Doctor Who books and the all-new New Adventures range shortly to be launched.They all had a new look cover with no Target logo being featured. Furthermore, each title was identified as part of the Doctor Who imprint and not Target imprint. Together these three books were unique in that while being part of the Virgin brand, they did not include the Virgin branding, a fact that was not overlooked. From the start it was decided that the Doctor Who imprint would be replaced with the more “appropriate” Virgin branding more associated with the New Adventures range.
  • Dedication: For Deanne Holding. A favourite story for one of our favourite people and with thanks to Jonathan V. Way Special thanks to Terry Nation and Roger Hancock.
  • Title page shows Official 30th Anniversary Logo.
  • This was the last Target novelisation of a televised story, as the final volume in the series, The Paradise of Death, was based upon a radio play. With this book, all of the Second Doctor's stories had now been novelised.
