Mickey is startled to find a statue of Rose in a museum — a statue that is 2,000 years old. The Doctor realises that this means the TARDIS will shortly take them back to ancient Rome, but when it does, he and Rose have more on their minds than sculpture.
While the Doctor searches for a missing boy, Rose befriends a girl whose claims to know the future — a girl whose predictions are surprisingly accurate. But then the Doctor stumbles on the hideous truth behind the statue of Rose — and Rose herself learns that you have to be very careful what you wish for...

When a naval cruiser sinks in mysterious circumstances in the North Sea, all aboard are lost. Rose is saddened to learn that the brother of her friend, Keisha, was among the dead. And yet he appears to them as a ghostly apparition, begging to be saved from the coming feast...the feast of the drowned.
As the dead crew haunt loved ones all over London, the Doctor and Rose are drawn into a chilling mystery. What sank the ship, and why? When the cruiser's wreckage was towed up the Thames, what sinister force came with it?
The river's dark waters are hiding an even darker secret, as preparations for the feast near their conclusion...

Will the TARDIS ever work again? Is Glint's lost treasure waiting to be found? And does the fabled Resurrection Casket — the key to eternal life — really exist? With the help of new friends, and facing terrifying new enemies, the Doctor and Rose aim to find out...

Back Cover Blurb
Equipped with space suits, golf clubs and a flag, the Doctor and Rose are planning to live it up on the Moon, Apollo-mision style. But the TARDIS has other plans, landing them instead in a village on the south coast of England: a picture-postcard sort of place where nothing much happens...until now.
Archaeologists have dug up a Roman mosaic, dating from the year 70 AD. It shows scenes from ancient myths, bunches of grapes — and a Dalek. A few days later a young woman, rushing to get to work, is knocked over and killed by a bus. Then she comes back to life.
It's not long before all hell breaks loose, and the Doctor and Rose must use all their courage and cunning against an alien enemy — and a not-quite-alien accomplice — who are intent on destroying humanity.

The Daleks
Notes
- I Am a Dalek was released as part of the Quick Reads initiative, which was designed to encourage people to take up reading, in particular adult learners. All of the titles were under 128 pages in length. A second book, Made of Steel, featuring the Cybermen, was released in March 2007.
- Amazingly, this was only the fifth original book to have been published which featured the Daleks, after John Peel's War of the Daleks and Legacy of the Daleks, Simon Clark's The Dalek Factor in 2004, and William H Keith, Jr's Doctor Who and the Vortex Crystal game book from FASA in 1986..
- The back cover of the book contains a rather nasty error, describing a scene in which 'a young woman, rushing to get to work, is knocked over and killed by a bus'. In actual fact, she's rushing to catch the bus when she gets knocked over by a red sports car...

- The Nightmare of Black Island was released at the same time as The Art of Destruction and The Price of Paradise.
- The Nightmare of Black Island was Mike Tucker's first book for the New Series Adventures, although he had previously co-written four Seventh Doctor novels for BBC Books' Previous Doctor Adventures range with Robert Perry, as well writing Prime Time on his own.
