Know your enemy with the Dalek Combat Training Manual

As one of the Time Lords’ most notorious enemy returns to Doctor Who this festive season, BBC Books announces an all-new comprehensive user’s guide to the Daleks, with technical information and drawings, case histories, and more.

Pre-order your copy of the Dalek Combat Training Manual now, ahead of its release on the 18th February 2021.

The Daleks are the most evil creatures ever created – genetically engineered mutants encased in a machine that is optimised to kill. They hate all other life forms and will stop at nothing to destroy those who stand in their way – their single-minded imperative? To become the dominant species in the universe.

The Dalek Combat Training Manual collates intelligence gathered by Time Lords over centuries of raging wars through space and time and is invaluable to anyone engaging the Daleks in battle. It offers the user an in-depth guide to their construction, their strategies and how they can be defeated.

Readers can discover diagrams of Dalek spacecraft, insights into the many Dalek factions, a history of the Time War, detailed analysis of their creator Davros, and much more.
