The Essential Terrance Dicks Volume One was an anthology of Target novelisations written by Terrance Dicks.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
"I see the task of the novelisation as reproducing the effect of watching the TV show in the reader's head. Sometimes you can even improve on it."
For over 50 years, Terrance Dicks contributed to Doctor Who - from joining production of The Invasion in 1968 to his final short story in 2019. And as the undisputed king of Doctor Who novelisations, Terrance wrote 64 Target books from his first commission in 1973 to his last, published in 1990.
This bumper compendium features a range of Terrance's novelisations - from the very first book he ever wrote (The Auton Invasion) to one of his final and hardest to find Doctor Whos (The Wheel in Space). These TV story adaptations are the first he wrote for the First, Second and Third Doctors... but they would not be his last!
