Doctor Who and the Daleks by David Whitaker

2.0

Slow-going, and significantly altered from the origin story as Whovians know it. This is a faithful reproduction of the 1964 novel that started the Doctor Who novels from the Target brand, which evolved into the BBC-branded stuff we get now. So, this is the best way to be exposed to the unvarnished beginning without spending a lot of money on a collectible item. Intro from Gaiman here is nice, and the Doctor as presented is kind of wily and deceitful varmint. The Thals are largely unsympathetic, and feel like side characters in a Haggard novel. Not great, in short, but an essential curiosity for some people.
