The Evil of the Daleks is a novelization of the classic 1967 Doctor Who serial featuring the Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton. Written by John Peel, the story follows the Doctor and his companions as they become entangled in a sinister Dalek experiment to isolate the 'human factor' and the 'Dalek factor'. Set across Victorian England and the Dalek home world of Skaro, the narrative explores themes of identity, morality, and the nature of evil through the lens of science fiction adventure. This edition was published in 1993 as part of the BBC's efforts to bring classic serials to a new generation of fans through print and audio formats.
