Publisher Description

Somebody's interfering with time. The Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack arrive on modern-day Earth to find the culprit - and discover a Neanderthal Man, twenty-eight thousand years after his race became extinct. Only a trip back to the primeval dawn of humanity can solve the mystery. Who are the mysterious humans from the distant future now living in the distant past? What hideous monsters are trying to escape from behind the Grey Door? Is Rose going to end up married to a caveman?

Caught between three very different types of human being - past, present and future - the Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack must learn the truth behind the Osterberg experiment before the monstrous Hy-Bractors escape to change humanity's history forever...

"This is one of my favorites in the Doctor Who series so far. I accidentally picked it up and thought 'oh...cavemen?' but it really surprised me. I was going to put it down and move on to something new, but around halfway through I was caught back up in it. Also, and I'm trying to avoid spoilers here, I was pleasantly surprised to see the Doctor in a very vulnerable situation. I love the Doctor, I really do, but it was very different to see him in the perilous situation he ends up in."

    " A quick an unchallenging read for me when I wasn't feeling well, my daughter has a bunch of the doctor who books so I decided I would read them and then recycle them via the local charity shop. I prefer the TV series but this was well written and the characters were great. "

    " A great Doctor Who adventure. Given how short lived the era of the 9th Doctor was, it is great to have a novel like this which captures the character and the story style of the era perfectly. "

    " Fifth of the New Who novels, with Nine, Rose, and Captain Jack. A Neanderthal turns up in 21st century Bromley, and the Tardis crew turn up to investigate why someone is using a particularly primitive, and stupid, method of time travel in the area. It transpires that there's no way to take Das the Neanderthal home without killing him, so Jack gets detailed to teach him how to survive in present-day Bromley, while the Doctor and Rose go back 28,000 years to find the source of the problem. What they find is a historical research project by a group of humans from Rose's future, and some very nasty things hiding in the project's storeroom...[return][return]It's an engaging enough story with some good one-off characters, although the Big Bad feels a bit cardboard to me. One of the best bits for me was the sequence of paired diary entries from Das and Jack, showing their very different perspectives on 21st century humans and each other. Often very funny, and occasionally poignant, and while I don't think they'd have supported a full story in themselves, I would have been glad to see more of them. "

    " The Doctor, Rose and Jack investigate a rip in time, only to find a caveman in 21st century earth. Jack is forced to look after the caveman while the Doctor and Rose find the source of the rip. All characters act like they should, and this would make a good tv episode. A good read. "

    " I decided it was time I read some of the Doctor Who novels, and I couldn't have started with a better book. Roberts has the characters of Rose, Captain Jack and The Doctor down to a T. I chortled the way through this book in less than a day. "

    " This is a Dr. Who book! That is all there is to say. By default it must be good then. Okay, so I am sure there are some not so great Dr. Who books out there to - have not read any yet. This was fun. It just had that Dr. Who fun about it. Even the oddest and strangest of stuff is good if you add the Doctor to it. I read it in two days and had fun with it. All tha matters :) "

    " So many Doctor Who books (and I have all the new ones)....a written review is unnecessary for them all. "

    " To be honest, it's no "The Stone Rose." The characterization of the Doctor seemed a bit wonky. It didn't feel like Nine. So maybe that's it. Still an amusing enough adventures. But I felt like there was much more... personality to be explored here. "

    " Good job of capturing the characters of the ninth doctor and Jack Harkness, and Rose to a slightly lesser degree. Somehow I missed this one until now (the eleventh doctor years), but the characterization took me right back. Excellent job, there. "

    " If you're a Doctor/Rose fan, I think you'll enjoy this very, very much. Not as cute as The Stone Rose, but it has some few great moments involving them. But the good parts came later in the story though. "

    " typical 9th doctor story. Enjoyable, if a bit screwy. Oh, and dark... not really dark, but darker than most of the new who series, which is a little sad. "

    " Last of my Nine series. This one is creepy. Really creepy and it's more a Doctor saves the day, Jack does his own thing totally separate from the gang kinda story. Definitely not the best of the Jack Harness ones. "

    " This book was so good for my inner fan girl! If you love Doctor Who, you'll love this book! It reads like one of the episodes, fast paced, compelling, humorous, and touching. With a side of strange as the cherry on top. ;) I finished it in a day and was left grinning. Highly recommended! "
