Synopsis

All is not well at the Wenley Moor underground atomic research station: there are unaccountable losses of power-output; nervous breakdowns amongst the staff; and then - a death! UNIT is called in, and the Brigadier is soon joined by Doctor Who and Liz Shaw in a tense and exciting adventure with subterranean reptile men – Silurians – and a 40 ft. high Tyrannosaurus rex, the biggest, most savage mammal which ever trod the Earth! Caroline John, who played Liz Shaw in the original TV serial Doctor Who and the Silurians, reads Malcolm Hulke’s complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1974. ‘They’re well-written books – adventure stories of course, but with some thought... the creation of the character of the Doctor had a touch of genius about it.’ - Westminster Press.

Although I don't enjoy Doctor Who as much as I used to I still tune into the current TV series. When I was young, back in the 1970s, Jon Pertwee was the incarnation of the Time Lord that I grew up with & I still have a soft spot for that era of the series. This novel is based on The Silurians, whihc......more

Malcolm Hulke drew the short end of the stick when it came to the sheer number of episodes he was asked to compress into the page count for the Target novels. In his run of Target novels, he adapted multiple six part stories, one ten part story and this seven part story into novel form. And while "T......more

Goodreads review by Michael on July 08, 2011

This was one of the earliest Target books I ever read back in the early 1970s. At the time I'd never seen the serial it was based on. I loved it. The cover promised great things for my young mind. Doctor Who - of course, strange green monsters, a volcano spewing lava (not in the story but volcanoes......more
