Publisher's Summary
Stranded in the jungles of Kembel, the most hostile planet in the Galaxy, Space Security agent Marc Cory has stumbled across the most deadly plot ever hatched - the Daleks are about to invade and destroy the Universe. Cory has to get a warning back to Earth before it's too late - but the Daleks find him first. Months later the Doctor and his companions arrive on Kembel and find Cory's message. But it may be too late for Earth - the Daleks' Master Plan has already begun... Peter Purves and Jean Marsh read this exciting novelisation of a classic Doctor Who adventure, with Dalek voices by Nicholas Briggs. This is the first of two novelisations written by John Peel and based on the TV serial The Daleks' Masterplan. The second, Daleks: The Mutation of Time, is also available from AudioGO.

"Thrilling story!"
Any additional comments?When I bought it, this book only had a one-star rating by one person. I don't understand why anyone would just give it one star. It is exciting, witty (I laughed out loud at one point) and has a really complicated plot (though it isn't hard to follow). A correction to the description: it is narrated by Jean Marsh (who played Sara Kingdom in the original series) AND Peter Purves, who played Steven Taylor. Another reader who should not be forgotten is Nicholas Briggs, who does all the Dalek voices. Marsh, Purves and Briggs are all terrific, of course. Long may they keep doing Doctor Who in all its various forms!

"The Great Epic part one."
The closest Doctor Who ever got to an epic style like the Lord Of the Rings saga, was the Daleks Masterplan. It was longest serial of the whole original series. 12 episodes in all. The first Doctor meets the Daleks one last time. Lot people died in this serial, nobody was safe even the Doctors Companions. By the end two will die. No one has ever seen it since it originally went out, because some idiot at BBC destroyed most of the episodes. Luckily John Peel was finally was allowed to novelize the story. Which concludes in the next book. Can hardly wait to listen to it.

"the daleks masterpiece"
Any additional comments?I cant believe someone gave this book such a poor rating, it's one of the best classic doctor who audios i've listened to, both narrators do a brilliant job of bringing the first doctor and his companions to life. You could argue that it's a little overlong and some of the mini adventures they have just drag things out but they do add a bit of much needed humor to quite a serious story and whats not to love about a story that has the daleks at their devious scheming best, It's such a shame I'm never going to see the television version of this story as most of the episodes are missing, but this book along with the second part(the mutation of time) more than make up for it.

"The Doctor 1, Daleks nil"
What did you like most about Doctor Who: Daleks - Mission to the Unknown?Doctor Who how it used to be, nice and simple, the Doctor bumbles along from one near disaster to another but manages to constantly thwart the Daleks and their dasterdly plans
What was one of the most memorable moments of Doctor Who: Daleks - Mission to the Unknown?The Black Dalek resisting the urge to exterminate a human
What does Jean Marsh bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?This is actually narrated by Jean Marsh and Peter Purves and both do a very good job, Peter manages to sound very like the original doctor
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?No, dip in a chapter or 2 at a time
Any additional comments?Well worth a listen, the description does state it is 7hrs 22m but the last hour of mine is just a repeat of an hour from earlier in the book
Looking forward to part 20 of 0 people found this review helpful
