The Dalek Masterplan is a gen Doctor Who novel by Rosemary Howe.

In 1965, the ABC decided not to purchase the twelve-episode Doctor Who story 'The Daleks' Master Plan'....

Furthermore, the story was not novelised as part of Target Books' series of Doctor Who novelisations until 1989, when John Peel produced a two-volume novelisation....

In 1980, therefore, Australian fans had no means of experiencing 'The Daleks' Master Plan' and no likelihood of seeing it novelised. Rosemary Howe's novelisation was designed as a means of allowing Australian fans to experience the story. Published over three issues of Zerinza, it was the first novelisation of this story. It has subsequently been reprinted several times, sold overseas, and republished in various places online.[1]

It appears that the story was originally serialized in issues 14 - 16 of the zine Zerinza, and this version may be a later collected edition.
