The Doctor, who is trying to reach Maruthea, finds
himself on a planet called Hell. The name is accurate as the planet is
controlled by Daleks! They need the Helkans to produce Helkogen to help
complete the Dalek Death Wheel to complete their quest for conquering the
galaxy. The Doctor finds an unexpected ally in Abslom Daak, Dalek Killer! Can
the two of them stop the evil robots’ plan? Will they get help from the
Helkans?
The plot is not unsimilar to other tales I have read, but
it is still pretty good. I like the concept of there being someone whose whole purpose in life is to
destroy Daleks. I can’t say how well Mr.
Starkings captures the voice of this version of the Doctor as I haven’t seen
any episodes that starred Sylvester McCoy.
