"For the first time, the never-before-told history of the Doctor's most dangerous enemy, the Daleks, from their genesis thousands of years ago to their conquest of the universe. Doctor Who: Dalek, is the one and only volume devoted solely to the history of the Doctor's greatest enemy. The Daleks, with their watchword cry "Exterminate!", are a race of cyborg aliens single-mindedly determined to conquer the universe and end all life forms they consider inferior. First appearing on Doctor Who in 1963, the Daleks are among the show's most popular villains. Reminiscent of human-sized pepper shakers, the external mechanical casing of the Dalek protects a soft, repulsive creature whose electronic voice is reduced to a squeak when outside of its shell. Doctor Who: Dalek chronicles the Daleks' genesis through the Time War and their ongoing conquest of the universe. Here are never-before-told stories about these legendary creatures--including terrifying near-mythical adventures, startling visual recreations of secret conflicts, and more. Each story sheds new light on what has become the most feared alien race in the universe. With a foreword by showrunner Steven Moffat, full-color illustrations, concept art, cutaways, diagrams, comic strips and more, Doctor Who: Dalek is the ultimate celebration of all things Dalek and a must have for devoted Whovians of every age."--provided by publisher.

This was a lot of fun to read, particularly the in-universe history. Because the Daleks like to rewrite their history and make use of time travel to restore their society, the history could get a bit wibbly-wobbly with repeated details. But the authors handled it well, and it was fun to relive the Dalek stories I’d already seen and try to guess the plots of the ones I hadn’t. And I loved the two-and-a-bit page spread of Big Finish audio dramas; I have an incurable Big Finish problem and this list will keep me going for quite a while!
Of the mini-stories, my favourite involved Twelve on an airplane, being grumpy. Love my Grumpy Twelve :D
The only thing I wasn’t quite crazy about was the artwork; some of it felt kind of samey, or I couldn’t tell whether something was a photo from the set or a painting, or a Photoshopped photo.
Recommended for fans of the show — make sure you have space on the bottom shelf of a sturdy bookcase for this one. ( )
