Ratings and reviews

Really enjoyed reading this one! Nicholas Briggs is a very good writer. He has the right amount of detail, got the 11th Doctor's personality spot on, the story moves along well; I would've loved to see this as an episode! Only quibble is that the ending is a little weak, but I still really enjoyed it. I would readily read any other books written by him.

This book was filled with a captivating story that will keep you guessing until the last pages. Written like an episode but feels like a beloved book, the Dalek Generation is for all ages. I hope one day they make an adaption if this book on the small screen. It would be great. I don't know why the BBC doesn't advertise these books on TV. They're really good.

A fun read written by the voice of the homicidal pepper pots himself.
