== Summary ==
to be added
== Plot ==
The Doctor materialises on the planet Hell, which has been conquered by the Daleks. Abslom Daak and his fellow mercenaries have been shot down over the planet, and only Daak has survived. He and the Doctor join forces to find out what the Daleks are doing here, and they find that the native Helkans have been put to work mining the poisonous helkogen gas from beneath the surface of the planet. The Doctor, Daak and a party of Helkans hijack a shuttle and head for the Death Wheel the Daleks are constructing in orbit, but they fail to transmit the proper security codes and are captured. Daak escapes, and discovers that the Daleks are building a genocide machine with which they will be able to gas entire planets. Daak rescues the Doctor and the Helkans, and while fleeing, they locate the Death Wheel's reactor core. Daak sends the Doctor and the Helkans to safety while he pilots a Dalek anti-gravity disc into the reactor, destroying it, blowing up the Death Wheel, and saving the planet at the cost of his own life.

== Worldbuilding ==
* When the Doctor calls the Emperor Dalek "Davros", the "Emperor" does not recognise the name, and the Doctor concludes that he has lost even more of his former identity.
== Notes ==
* Richard Alan and Steve Alan were the pen-names used by Richard Starkings and John Tomlinson.
* The design of the Dalek Emperor's casing in this story is based on Davros's imperial casing from Remembrance of the Daleks, but with added traits from the Golden Emperor's casing as seen in The Daleks.
* Harma is referred to as "Haama" in "Part Two".
* While the Doctor calls the Dalek Emperor Davros, COMIC: Emperor of the Daleks! tried to retcon the notion by purporting that the Doctor had been wrong, and that the Emperor in this story was the Golden Emperor at a point prior to Davros's takeover of Skaro.
== Continuity ==
* The Doctor recognises the Dalek Emperor as Davros. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)
* The Doctor is still aiming for Maruthea. (COMIC: Echoes of the Mogor!, Time and Tide, Invaders from Gantac!)
* The Daleks still employ Ogrons as a slave labour force. (TV: Day of the Daleks)
* As he flies into the Death Wheel, Daak thinks of Taiyin's last words to him and his promise to "kill every damned, stinking Dalek in the galaxy". (COMIC: Abslom Daak... Dalek Killer)
