‘Not men, Ace. Silurians. The original rulers of the Earth.’

The TARDIS is attacked by an alien force; Bernice is flung into the Vortex; and the Doctor and Ace crash‐land on Earth.

An attack by dinosaurs convinces the Doctor that he and Ace have arrived in the Jurassic Era. But when they find a woman being hunted by intelligent reptiles, he begins to suspect that something is very wrong.

Then they meet the embittered Brigadier Lethbridge‐Stewart, leading the remnants of UNIT in a hopeless fight against the Silurians who rule his world. And they find out that it all began when the Doctor died…

5.0 out of 5 stars When dinosaurs ruled the Earth...
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2001
After the TARDIS is invaded by a mysterious force, Bernice is hurled out into the Vortex and the ship itself lands on contemporary Earth. But it isn't the Earth that the Doctor and Ace expect to find on emerging - this Earth is populated by dinosaurs. Something has happened in the past, and the Silurians rule the world...
A sort-of sequel to the TV serial 'The Silurians' (novelised under the name 'The Cave Monsters'), this novel is the first in a sequence of five (the remainder being 'The Dimension Riders', 'The Left-Handed Hummingbird', 'Conundrum' and 'No Future') which sees the Doctor and companions dealing with threats that tie into the Doctor's past, and that have a single for behind them all.
Having said that, this novel does stand on its own, and is set in a world where the Doctor was slain towards the end of 'The Silurians', and looks at what might have happened under those circumstances. It features the return of old allies the Brigadier, Liz Shaw and Jo Grant and puts an interesting twist on the lives of those people.
It is not, however, simply wallowing in the series' past. There are numerous new elements, the ongoing character development of the Doctor, Ace and Benny continues, and the story climaxes in a moral dilemma that drives further wedges between the companions.
Jim Mortimore uses this book to explore the "might have beens" of the Who universe, doing an excellent job while reinforcing what we already know and accept about the series.
