Publisher's summary
"The Sunlight Worlds Offer You A Life of Comfort and Plenty. Apply now at the Dalek Foundation."
Sunlight 349 is one of countless Dalek Foundation worlds, planets created to house billions suffering from economic hardship. The Doctor arrives at Sunlight 349, suspicious of any world where the Daleks are apparently a force for good – and determined to find out the truth. The Doctor knows they have a far more sinister plan – but how can he convince those who have lived under the benevolence of the Daleks for a generation?
But convince them he must, and soon. For on another Foundation planet, archaeologists have unearthed the most dangerous technology in the universe...

Notes
- This is the second appearance of the Daleks in a BBC New Series Adventure novel, the first being PROSE: Prisoner of the Daleks (in which there is also mention of a Dalek Generation, although it is unrelated). A single Dalek also features in the Quick Reads novella, I Am a Dalek.
- The standard bronze 2005 design of Dalek introduced in TV: Dalek is featured prominently throughout this story, similar to TV: Asylum of the Daleks and COMIC: The Dalek Project, instead of the New Dalek Paradigm design introduced in TV: Victory of the Daleks.
Continuity
- As in COMIC: The Dalek Project, PROSE: Dark Horizons and PROSE: Plague of the Cybermen, the Doctor is travelling without a regular companion for this story, meaning it most likely occurs (for the Doctor) after TV: The Snowmen during his travels while searching for Clara Oswald. The Blakely children assist the Doctor as one-off companions.
- The Doctor remembers the times he used a hypercube: a long time ago, (TV: The War Games) and just recently. (TV: The Doctor's Wife)
- The Dalek time controller previously encountered the Sixth Doctor, (AUDIO: Patient Zero) and the Eighth Doctor. (AUDIO: To the Death)
