I was excited until I read the list...
'Dalek' will be the only one for me because I'm interested in seeing if it gets retro-fitted to cover that fact that by 2012 everyone in the Doctor Who version of Earth knew what a Dalek was.

Very much looking forward to these. I didn't enjoy Resurrection at all but Revelation might be better. The TV Movie novelisation always had the feel of a Target. The others? Rob will do a brilliant job on Dalek and I imagine there's a wrm feeling wrapped around Mark Gatiss' soul as he does his. Yeah, nice selection, I think.

That's interesting - I was really wondering if the new series novelisations would be a one-off or not!
The Crimson Horror is an interesting choice for a Gatiss story - I thought Empress of Mars had all the makings of an expansive novel crammed into forty five minutes, so I was hoping to see that one expanded at some point.
It's also interesting to me that they haven't done any two-parters in this range yet. I suppose single episodes do give way more scope for expansion!

Not the ones I'd have expected, but very welcome nevertheless

Revelation was better - but that really isn't saying much. Resurrection is probably the worst thing I have read in the past 20 years. It isn't often I come across something that has me considering giving up before the end of the first chapter.

I was hoping for Nightmare in Silver, as that one could really use the breathing room it didn't get on it's airing. (that was the episode I looked forward to most in all of season 7)
I'll definitely pick up Dalek and the TV movie, not sure about the others yet.

It isn't often I come across something that has me considering giving up before the end of the first chapter. I decided to revisit the TSV novelisations done during the early 2000s recently and their version of Resurrection's pretty good. It takes inspiration from Ben Aaronovitch's take on Remembrance of the Daleks (and a touch of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, believe it or not).

I'm definitely excited about Dalek. It's a bit disappointing that so many of the "new" novels are reprints or cut-down versions.

Many of the prospective writers involved are working on other projects. It certainly makes sense and I'm grateful to get the novelizations we are getting. After seeing the number of listings beforehand, though, it was a little disappointing that they weren't all new projects, though definitely logical.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

I really enjoyed Nightmare and am often surprised at the beating it takes in fandom.

A daft question...have these been published yet? Nope. They were meant to come out last year but pandemic. Resurrection and Revelation have been published before, but the new covers here handily standardise them with other novelisations.
