The Evil of the Daleks was a novelisation based on the 1967 television serial The Evil of the Daleks. It was written by Frazer Hines and released by BBC Books on 26 October 2023. It was the second such official novelisation following the original and justified itself as, in essence, a novelisation of the 1968 televised repeat of the original TV serial, making use of the framing device of Zoe Heriot being shown the events of the earlier adventure on a mind projector shortly after joining the Doctor's TARDIS.

Publisher's summary

Young astrophysicist Zoe wishes to join Jamie and the Doctor on their travels. To give her fair warning of the dangers she may face, the Doctor uses a mind projector to share one of their most harrowing adventures...

And so, Jamie is forced to relive his struggle against the evil Daleks at their most powerful and calculating. In a complex plot that drags him from modern-day London to Victorian times and finally to the Dalek world of Skaro, he endures ordeals that test his courage, strength - and his friendship with the Doctor - to the limit...
