Remember, remember, the Dalek December
With Paris in ruins and London in ember
In times of the future when fears are abating
Don’t try to forget them, the Daleks are waiting
Quietly planning and scheming and hating
The space ship Starfinder is taking two dangerous criminals for trial on Earth. En route, they crash through a meteor storm and have to make an emergency landing on Skaro – the planet of the dreaded Daleks. But Captain Redway and his faithful crew don’t anticipate any trouble. After all, the Daleks were defeated fifty years ago and now they are completely inactive. But when a crate full of mysterious devices is discovered and the Daleks start to come back to life, it becomes clear that there is a traitor amongst the Starfinder’s crew… A traitor intent on reactivating the power of the Daleks!

I'm still wrapping my head around stories in the Who-verse without the Doctor being present. This story was intended as a spin-off back in the late 60's and survives the test of time - barely. It takes a little while to build up, and there are some assumptions made that current readers/fans might find odd (in particular, an argument for why women should enjoy not having to work and just live a life of relaxed choices). That said, still a good Dalek's rising story :)
