The Doctor walked slowly forward into the cul-de-sac. The giant dinosaur turned its head to focus on the midget now approaching... the Doctor aimed his gun to fire... suddenly from behind came a great roar of anger. He spun round - blocking the exit from the narrow street towered a tyrannosaurus rex, its savage jaws dripping with blood...

The Doctor and Sarah arrive back in the TARDIS to find London completely deserted - except for the dinosaurs. Has the return of these prehistoric creatures been deliberately planned and, if so, who can be behind it all?

RETURN OF THE
PREHISTORIC CREATURES


Three hundred and fifty million years ago, dinosaurs crawled  the Earth, devouring everything in sight.  But then they disappeared.  Certainly, no one ever expected them to return...

When Doctor Who lands in London and finds the entire city deserted - except for dinosaurs - he figures something really weird is going on.  It is.  A clever group of misguided idealists is at the center of a bizarre plot to reverse Time to a golden era - an era before technology, before pollution, before the hydrogen bomb.    The group is going to give the human race a second chance.

But, to implement Operation Golden Age, the past must be eliminated.  The present will not exist - and only the chosen will survive.

Doctor Who must turn the clock forward to stop Operation Golden Age, but will he be able to do it before Earth's Time runs out?

Doctor Who is a mysterious, zany, a very mature Time Lord (750 years mature to be exact) who hurtles through space in a stolen Time Machine.  Since there's a problem with the steering, he never lands exactly when or where he plans to.    This, along with his desperate desire to bring law and order to the universe and his insatiable curiosity, consistently places him in strange and often perilous circumstances.

Doctor Who, created for and by the BBC, is one of the longest running and most popular shows in British television history.  Now this incredible space fantasy can be seen on television in major cities throughout the United States via Time-Life Television.

Fighting traitors within and monsters without, the Doctor and UNIT must try and stop the deadly idealists.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
