Doctor Who: I Am a Dalek – Gareth Roberts

This was my first Doctor Who novel, though to be precise, it is a “Quick Read” and only 105 pages long. I would call it a “mini novel”, that sounds kind of nice.

‘That was brilliant!’ cried the Doctor.

After having watched (after a long mourning pause) the new series seasons with the 11th Doctor I felt the need to indulge in nostalgia and read a story featuring the 10th! And: woohoo! It was as if he was back on screen! :-D

Gareth Jones (who had previously written great bits for Doctor Who merchandise and other BBC television programs) has captured the 10th Doctor and Rose, as well as the relationship between them and the Dalek race (and of course the human race) perfectly!

The story starts off as it often does, by the TARDIS “mislanding” someplace. Instead of the surface of the moon Rose and the Doctor find themselves on an English Island. As these things go, Rose is struggling to help a “almost-run-over-by-a-car” girl while the Doctor digs his nose into the newest find of an archaeological excavation: a Roman Dalek…kind of…

Once again, the Doctor and Rose, with help of extraordinary human beings, have to find a way to save Earth, the universe, from the threat of Daleks! A praise for spirit, human-kind and (of course) the Doctor!

Therefore it gets 5 out of 5 sonic screwdrivers!

Take care, Phoebe
