The Dalek Project

BBC Books have recently revealed they are to release an original Doctor Who graphic novel titled The Dalek Project. The Dalek Project was written by Justin Richards, illustrated by Mike Collins and features an introduction from departing Doctor Who head writer Russell T Davies.

This graphic novel will see the tenth Doctor face the Daleks for the first time since the upcoming book titled Prisoner of the Daleks. Prisoner of the Daleks is currently scheduled for release in April alongside Judgement of the Judoon and Excursion of the Slitheen.

Below is the official synopsis for this graphic novel;

1917: The Great War is at its fiercest and most terrible. But things are about to get even worse… When the Doctor arrives at Hellcombe Hall in England he discovers a house full of mystery. There are locked doors and forbidden rooms, dustsheets cover guilty secrets, the maid Mary Carter is scared of the ghosts... And that’s before Corporal Anderson finds that his muddy corpse-filled trench ends in the drawing room. Armaments manufacturer Lord Hellcombe has a new secret weapon he believes will win the war. But when the Doctor witnesses the final demonstration he begins to realise how much danger everyone is in. Because Lord Hellcombe claims to have invented the Dalek. Except, of course, that nothing is quite what it seems. The Doctor and his new friends must draw on every type of early 20th century technology and every element of human ingenuity and bravery if they are to discover the truth and to survive. If they are to prevent the entire Western Front of World War One from becoming part of The Dalek Project.

The Dalek Project is scheduled for release on the twenty fourth of September for the RRP of £14.99 around the United Kingdom and Ireland. Various books of The Darksmith Legacy have been written by Justin Richards, two of which are currently on sale.
