}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' was the first story in [[Terry Nation's Dalek Annual 1979|the final Dalek Annual]]. It was a kind of prelude for the other stories in the volume, in that it dealt mainly with a character known as [[Ed Cowley]], and only introduced the annual's main character, [[Joel Shaw]], in the final paragraphs. | }}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' was the first story in [[Terry Nation's Dalek Annual 1979|the final Dalek Annual]].

Merchant [[Ed Cowley]] unexpectedly encounters a [[Dalek]] fleet. His only hope for survival is a nearby [[black hole]]-like rip in the fabric of space and time. He enters it, only to lose consciousness. When he awakes, he finds he's on a crash-course with a planet. He performs an emergency landing, but his ship is mostly lost in the rocky touchdown. | Merchant [[Ed Cowley]] unexpectedly encounters a [[Dalek]] fleet.

Some time later, [[Joel Shaw]] shows up on scene to find Cowley's ship adrift, its captain dead, but still clutching the firing controls. It's unclear what's killed him. More distressingly, the ship's open communication unit has recorded the sound of only two explosions. Shaw fears the worst — maybe Cowley didn't take out the final Dalek ship. | Some time later, [[Joel Shaw]] shows up on scene to find Cowley's ship adrift, its captain dead, but still clutching the firing controls.

In truth, there's no direct sense of continuity between stories in the 1970s Dalek annuals, except that they do quite often feature [[Joel Shaw]]. Time placement here follows publication order, which is a fairly arbitrary way of creating a chronology. | In truth, there's no direct sense of continuity between stories in the 1970s Dalek annuals, except that they do quite often feature [[Joel Shaw]].
