Publisher's summary
The year is 2163. Ten years since the Daleks invaded the Earth. One year until the Doctor, in his first incarnation, will help bring the occupation to an end. But for now, their reign of terror goes on.
The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Peri to Scotland – enslaved, like everywhere else on the planet. But there are rumours of Dalek-free islands off its coast. Places where resistors and refuseniks are coming together, gathering arms and armour, preparing to strike back against the enemy.
When the Doctor falls in with an unlikely group of freedom fighters making that dangerous journey to Orkney, he finds himself trapped – but not only by the Daleks, their robotised henchmen and their human collaborators.
By history.
Because history shows that for another year, resistance is useless...
The rebellion must fail – and as a Time Lord, the Doctor can do nothing to help.

Cast
- The Doctor - Colin Baker
- Peri Brown - Nicola Bryant
- Moira Brody - Tracy Wiles
- Alan Weir - Brian McCardie
- Ross Nicolson - Sean Biggerstaff
- Kyle Inskip - Hugh Ross
- Curbishly - Damian Lynch
- The Daleks/Roboman - Nicholas Briggs
References
- The Daleks are unfamiliar with the Doctor as the invasion takes place early in their history.
- The Daleks make use of transolar discs.
- The Doctor is interrogated by a Black Dalek, distinct from the Supreme Controller.
- The Doctor compares Moira to Rob Roy, whom he says he could tell Peri stories about.
Notes
- The story's title is often quoted by the Daleks:
- "We are the Masters of Earth" in The Dalek Invasion of Earth
- "Now the Daleks are the Masters of Earth" in The Stolen Earth
- Taking place in 2163, which is stated to be a year before the invasion ends, the story explicitly dates the Dalek invasion as happening between 2152 (when the meteorite bombardment began, as far as Kyle is able to recall, although his memory is a bit fuzzy) and 2164, based off the calendar the Doctor and Ian find in The Dalek Invasion of Earth. This is at odds with other stories including The Daleks' Master Plan, GodEngine, Lucifer Rising and The Mutant Phase, which date the invasion in the ten years between 2157 and 2167.
Continuity
- The First Doctor aided in ending the Dalek occupation of Earth in (presumably) 2164, (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) after the Seventh Doctor later released a biological agent that would help some humans survive the Dalek plagues, enabling him to have assistance. (PROSE: Lucifer Rising)
- Varga plants first appeared on Kembel. (TV: Mission to the Unknown)
- Slythers also appear on Earth. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth)
