Quest of the Daleks is now on-line

Tuesday, January 16, 2007

Dalek fan writer Alan MacKenzie now now published on-line the follow up to his fan novel Redemption of the Daleks – Quest of the Daleks.

Quest of the Daleks is a direct sequel to Redemption of the Daleks - and is set four years after the Redemption of the Daleks epilogue. It is a longer novel longer than Redemption of the Daleks, at 65,000 words and is, according to Alan, “both deeper and darker than its predecessor”.

It is allegorical in places and takes some fairly thinly-veiled swipes at some of the stupidities going on on this planet today.

Anyone who had read Redemption of the Daleks will know what an excellent (and ambitious) piece of work it is. Redemption of the Daleks was written a period of approximately four months and has its roots in the classic Doctor Who story Remembrance of the Daleks, screened on BBC TV in 1989.

This follow-up will be welcomed.
