‘Station 7 is the most secret establishment in the whole of
Earth-Space. Even our own people don’t know it exists. It’s beyond top secret.
There’s no way the Daleks can ever find it.’
Station 7 is where the Earth Forces send all the equipment captured in
their unceasing war against the Daleks. It’s where Dalek technology is analysed
and examined. It’s where the Doctor and Amy have just arrived. But somehow the
Daleks have found out about Station 7 – and there’s something there that they
want back.
With the Doctor increasingly worried about the direction the Station’s
research is taking, the commander of Station 7 knows he has only one possible,
desperate, defence. Because the last terrible secret of Station 7 is that they
don’t only store captured Dalek technology. It’s also a prison. And the only
thing that might stop a Dalek is another Dalek…
An epic, full-colour graphic novel featuring the Doctor and Amy, as
played by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in the spectacular hit series from BBC
Television.

transcendental (much bigger on the inside), just like the TARDIS itself. Also
