Moffat spoke of how the new Doctor would be more in the patrician mould of the classic series than the "youthful boyfriend" exterior projected by both Smith and David Tennant. In this book, Steven Cooper covers all 26 episodes broadcast in and , from the start of the Capaldi era to the Christmas special.
The Doctor and Amy arrive on this terrifying world in the middle of an all-out frontier war between Sittuun and Humans, and the countdown has already started. There's a comet in the sky, and it's on a collision course with the Gyre When the Doctor is kidnapped, it's up to Amy and "galaxy-famous swashbuckler" Dirk Slipstream to save the day. But who is Slipstream, exactly? And what is he really doing here? I watched it happen. I made it happen! The vault is filled with alien artefacts.
Its billionaire owner, Henry van Statten, even has possession of a living alien creature, a mechanical monster in chains that he has named a Metaltron. Seeking to help the Metaltron, the Doctor is appalled to find it is in fact a Dalek — one that has survived the horrors of the Time War just as he has.
And as the Dalek breaks loose, the Doctor is brought back to the brutality and desperation of his darkest hours spent fighting the creatures of Skaro It turned minds, sold merchandise, and swayed elections. And it did its job far too well Everyone is happy and everyone is rich. Or so it seems. When the Doctor, Amy and Rory look beneath the surface, they discover a city of secrets. In dark corners, strange creatures are stirring.
At the heart of the hall, a great metal dragon oozes gold. Then the Herald appears, demanding the return of her treasure And next come the gunships. The battle for possession of the treasure has begun, and only the Doctor and his friends can save the people of the city from being destroyed in the crossfire of an ancient civil war.
But will the King surrender his new-found wealth? Or will he fight to keep it? Doctor Who has always contained a rich current of religious themes and ideas. In its very first episode it asked how humans rationalize the seemingly supernatural, as two snooping schoolteachers refused to accept that the TARDIS was real.
More recently it has toyed with the mystery of Doctor's real name, perhaps an echo of ancient religions and rituals in which knowledge of the secret name of a god, angel or demon was thought to grant a mortal power over the entity.
The Doctor and Jay escape as the Vargas and Slyther come after them. Amy opens the doors to the jungle and lets them out before warning them about the asteroids while the Dalek in the jungle runs out of power and deactivates.
As the fighters near the "asteroids" , Kustler insists they use their captured Dalek technology against the attackers. Tranter refuses but there is little choice. Tranter eventually decides to go along with the plan. Static power is cut and the prisoner Daleks are taken to be converted. As the prisoner Daleks are converted, Jay orders them to be numbered to tell them apart from proper Daleks.
The sound of static pulses fills the base, taking control of the Ogrons and Robomen. Finally, the Dalek fleet abandons the asteroid camouflage and a great space battle begins. Most of the casualties are humans.
The converted Daleks are positioned on a balcony while the attacking Daleks dock the station. The Robomen and Ogrons also join the battle and overpower the guards. They arrive sooner than the Daleks who are busy cutting through bulkhead doors. The converted Daleks fight back and drive them away. However, the Daleks breach the station.
When ordered to fight back, the converted Daleks turn on the SSS. Many are killed, including Kustler. The Doctor quickly releases the docking clamps of the section they are in and the Daleks are sucked into space. The section falls to the ice planet Strantana below. Still on the station, Amy and Jay find a damaged Dalek that went through conversion, numbered 3, but the Daleks capture them and move to destroy everything on the station in search of "the Abomination".
With no luck they scan the jettisoned section and detect the Doctor. The Doctor meanwhile gets out of the section on Strantana's surface as it begins to sink in the planet's molten core under the shattered ice and go an explore, unaware they are being watched from afar. They are attacked by native creatures but saved by others who have undergone a process which tamed them and they are led a hidden base. Meanwhile, Amy is interrogated aboard a Dalek ship about the Abomination.
She believed the Doctor died in the descent, but is corrected by the Daleks. She knows nothing of the Abomination and is sent back to her cell where Jay is.
Jay calls upon Dalek 3 they found on the station. It responds before the Daleks destroy Station 7 completely. A Dalek enters Amy and Jay's cell and the girls attack it. Its weapon is turned on Jay, and a Dalek gun is fired - but it is Dalek 3 destroying the Dalek guard. Dalek 3 instructs Amy and Jay to follow it to the hangar, where there is a scoutship. They escape the ship, but only because the Daleks allowed it to happen. The scoutship crashes on Strantana but the passengers are unharmed.
The Dalek detects the survivors' tracks and follows them. They are also being watched, like the Doctor who is now at the base and aware of it. The Daleks also arrive on the planet to continue their search. They find a Slyther stranded by the magma and recover it but one Dalek falls in. A signal from "their agent" is then detected and they follow it. The base is powered by heat from the magma so no power can be detected.
It turns out to be owned by Professor Weston. He has a Dalek mutant in a glass container and the processed natives are his work.
He spies Amy and Jay with the Dalek and thinks them to be collaborators but is quickly corrected. They plan to attack the Dalek as soon as the trio arrives. Weston thinks he may have a use for the casing. The Doctor asks about the mutant which Weston claims he has successfully tamed.
He claims it is "the only good Dalek" but Tranter claims it is "an abomination". The Dalek force on the planet is discovered as Amy, Jay and Dalek 3 arrive at the base. Weston sends his processed creatures to stop them and Tranter's agents also volunteer, if only to buy time.
They are all killed very quickly. When Amy and Jay arrive, Dalek number 3 goes crazy, announcing the Abomination, Weston's tame Dalek mutant, is so be exterminated.
The Doctor and Weston quickly disable it and open the casing. Weston plans to use it to house the tamed mutant while the original mutant is taken out. Outside the base, a missile strike grants the Daleks entry.
They work quickly, taking out the mutant from Dalek 3's casing as it recovers. It is placed in a liquid-filled container like the tamed one, but the on the container appears a mysterious crack that nobody notices Weston's research is put onto a disk and Tranter places the Dalek into the casing.
The Doctor sets the facility to self-destruct, which will kill all the Daleks inside. The countdown begins. They have under 23 minutes to escape, while another Dalek mutant watches on having been left alone.
The Daleks send a Slyther to attack the Doctor and the others but it is killed by their Dalek. Unfortunately, in doing so, the route is blocked. Weston knows of another way but bulkheads are required to be opened. Jay volunteers to return to the generator room and open them there. There she finds the lone Dalek mutant but realises it is the tame one and that Tranter put the original one back in its casing. At that moment, Tranter arrives and announced "Mission compromised.
She is rescued by the Doctor who distracts Tranter by disrupting his eye scope with his sonic screwdriver. The Doctor is then able to piece together the real story of Tranter. When he was captured on the front lines, the Daleks interrogated and implanted memories into him while programming him. He only believed he fought his way out of the ship but really he was set free along with other prisoners who had been programmed as Dalek agents along with him.
He was programmed to take the job as Station 7's commander which is how the Daleks found it. The Doctor strikes Tranter, knocking his scope off and freeing him from Dalek control.
The Daleks lose their signal connection with him and the Doctor destroys the device. They rush to warn Amy and Weston that the Dalek they are with is still evil. Tranter goes off to try and disable the reactor to save Weston's Dalek. Amy and Weston are tricked by the Dalek and their route is cut off by two more. Weston passes Amy the disk of his research. The Doctor and Jay sneak up on one of the Daleks and Weston distracts them, pushing Amy to safely while the Daleks kill him.
The Doctor takes a pipe and freezes the ice arch, apparently trapping the Daleks. They easily break free, however, and concern themselves more with the extermination of the abomination. They arrive at the reactor and shut off the countdown as Tranter reveals himself. He attempts to convince them he is still under Dalek control but it quickly discovered. He shuts down the base's safety measures and runs for it. The Daleks try to enable them again but the controls are damaged.
Tranter is caught again. The Abomination is located but its tank smashes and it curls a tentacle around a switch, finishing the countdown. It croaks: "Exterminate".
The base begins flooding with magma, killing the Daleks and Tranter. The Doctor, Amy and Jay make it to the surface before the magma can claim them. Two Daleks, one of them Dalek 3, correctly predict an eruption. Dalek 3 is destroyed for failing to keep the facility safe.
