When I first saw this I was a bit confused as this story was already novelised by John Peel years ago. However, on reading the blurb I saw it wasn't so straightforward as simply an alternative version, in the way that David Fisher rewrote two of his novels.
When The Evil of the Daleks was repeated following the broadcast of The Wheel in Space, it was incorporated into the on-going narrative of the series by having the Doctor 'show' the story to Zoe via a mental projection. Frazer Hines' version of the story is an account of that "repeat showing", so will have a framing device beyond the story as recounted by Peel. From the synopsis, it may link in with The Mind Robber, which was all about fiction coming to life.
It's released in hardback and in audio format on 26th October 2023.
