Dalek Empire I: Chapter Two - The Human Factor by Nicholas Briggs

3.0

I've said it before, I'll say it again: I love the Dalek Empire series. While the first chapter in this series is mostly unnecessary backstory, this chapter hits the road running. Alby Brook is searching for Susan Mendez, the love of his life. Meanwhile, Susan and Kalendorf are prisoners working for the Daleks, while trying to build a resistance movement from the slaves they have been sent to calm into submission. Kalendorf's ability to pass messages telepathically under the eyestalks of the Daleks, and Susan's new identity as the “Angel of Mercy” succeed in creating a science fiction equivalent of the French Resistance—which goes quite far in building upon the already existing Nazi element inherent in Dalek stories.

Personally, this is the story that made me invested in the Dalek Empire, and it only got better from here.
