Synopsis

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 a gripping adventure featuring the Ninth Doctor as played by Christopher Eccleston, together with Rose and Captain Jack as played by Billie Piper and John Barrowman in the hit series from BBC Television. It is read by Anthony Head, who played Lucas Finch/Brother Lassar in the Doctor Who episode 'School Reunion'.

Goodreads review by Mitchell on July 29, 2011

OK, this is probably one of the best, if not THE best, Doctor-Who related novel I've ever read in any of the ranges - Target, Virgin NA, Virgin MA, BBC 8DA, BBC PDA, or BBC 9DA/10DA. I mean, I am a fan of the "Dark Doctor" books, and love the arcs of some of the previous series, but in terms of NAIL......more

Goodreads review by Wee on June 12, 2025

I think Das the Neanderthal may be my favourite Doctor Who character of all time - I wish he would show up in the show. This was a brilliant book - the ending was a bit bittersweet considering the fate of the other Neanderthals, but still a really good story. More like this please Doctor Who.......more
