ok my first thought upon seeing this was that it’s probably only a new novelization as a result of whatever copyright thing has always prevented Target from ever doing a reprint of the John Peel version, like some of the other novelizations that’ve gotten rewrites recently (I didn’t imagine that right? there were like one or two that were new or updated texts in their latest releases?) and I was already ready to make the joke that, since Frazer’s writing this one and (to my knowledge) he hasn’t written any novels or original fiction but has written an autobiography or two, what we’re about to get is really best thought of as Evil of the Daleks (Jamie’s Version)
BUT if you read the article that is not a joke at all & literally what’s going on here which is kinda really exciting! The premise is the retelling of Evil that takes place in between Wheel & Dominators and sounds like it’ll include some new material as well, and I for one can’t wait to see where this goes with that!
#evil of the daleks#jamie mccrimmon#second doctor#im ecstatic guys#i was literally right about to make a post complaining that big finish still hasn't given us any details on the next 2nd dr release#(the one that's meant to come out in like 2 months or less)#and while i am still sad about that i do not think i have any right to complain about anything today as a fan of that era#Also im obsessed with how it sounds like the frame narrative with zoe will have its own plot/alien threat thing#and im like. 99.99% sure that just means a bit of new stuff set between serials#but the exact wording the description gives almost makes it sound like there's a non-zero chance that#instead of inserting a story between wheel & dominators#this book could just retcon dominators and jump into the beginning of mind robber#which again i dont think is what's happening because literally what would the point be?#but i still find the possibility hilarious#imagine it's meant to fit the continuity of the mind robber novelization lol#send another doctor + companions to pompeii why not
