This novelisation is based on the original television serial TV: The Evil of the Daleks, written by David Whitaker and shown from 20 May 1967.
- The cover and information on the right are for the original Target edition. It featured the artwork of Alister Pearson. (See below for information on editions with different covers).
Publisher's summary
"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.
Deviations from televised story
- According to the novel, the Emperor is the same Dalek who exterminated Davros in TV: Genesis of the Daleks.
Writing and publishing notes
- Along with The Power of the Daleks and The Paradise of Death, this title was significantly different from earlier Target Books novelisations in length and format. The three were regarded as a bridge between the old Target range of Doctor Who books and the all-new Virgin Missing Adventures range shortly to be launched. They had a new look cover with no Target logo featured; furthermore, each title was identified as part of the Doctor Who imprint and not Target imprint (however the Target name did appear on the title pages).
- 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.
