This review is from: Doctor Who: Daleks - Mission to the Unknown: The Daleks' Master Plan, Part One: A Classic Doctor Who Novel (Audio CD)

On the planet Kembel, the Daleks are working on a master plan that will see them finally destroy the upstart humans. But, before they can implement their plan, they need a Taranium core, provided by a human renegade. However, a spanner is soon dropped into the master plans' works in the form of the (First) Doctor! Now, it is up to the Doctor and his companions to keep one step ahead of the Daleks, foil their plan, and (hopefully) stay alive!

This is a rather fun audiobook. It's a novelization of the one-off Doctor Who story, Mission to the Unknown, and first six episodes of The Daleks' Master Plan. It's a good story, with an ending that you can walk away from, feeling like you got the entire story. But, I would not recommend it! You really must go on to the second story!

The audiobook is ably read by Peter Purves, who actually played Steven Taylor opposite William Hartnell, and Jean Marsh, who played Sara Kingdom at that time. It's a great audiobook, and a worthy addition to your Doctor Who library!
