Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
For over forty years, the Doctor has battled against the monsters and villains of the universe. This book, by Doctor Who expert Justin Richards, brings together the best — or rather the worst — of his enemies.
Discover why the Daleks are so deadly; how the Yeti invade London; the secret of the Loch Ness monster; and how the Cybermen have survived. Learn who the Master is, and — above all — how the Doctor defeats them all.
Whether you read it on or behind the sofa, this book provides a wealth of information about the monsters and villains that have made Doctor Who the galactic phenomenon that it is today.
