I Am a Dalek (novel)

I am a Dalek is a BBC Books original novel written by Gareth Roberts, and features the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler. This short novel (or novella) was the first release under a subsidiary banner of BBC Books, Quick Reads, an initiative to promote literacy. Quick Reads novellas are considerably shorter than the usual releses in the BBC Tenth Doctor Adventures line, roughly equivalent in word count to some of the shorter Target Books novelizations. I am a Dalek was released exclusively in paperback format, the first New Series Adventure to not be published in hardcover.

Publisher’s Summary

Equipped with space suits, golf clubs, and a flag, the Doctor and Rose are planning to live it up, Apollo mission-style, on the Moon. But the TARDIS has other plans, landing them instead in a village on the south coast of England; a picture-postcard sort of place where nothing much happens. Until now...

An archaeological dig has turned up a Roman mosaic, circa AD 70, depicting mythical scenes, grapes - and a Dalek. A few days later a young woman, rushing for work, is knocked over and killed by a bus, then comes back to life. It's not long before all hell breaks loose, and the Doctor and Rose must use all their courage and cunning against an alien enemy - and a not-quite-human accomplice - who are intent on destroying humanity.

Featuring the Doctor and Rose as played by David Tennant and Billie Piper in the hit series from BBC Television.
