Note:  A later reprint removed the image of Billie Piper from the cover, presumably due to use-of-likeness issues after Piper left the programme (the same happened for several other of the new series novels featuring Rose).

Cover blurb:
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 that 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...

Featuring the Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack as played by Christopher Eccleston, Billie Piper and John Barrowman in the hit series from BBC Television.

Cover blurb:
Miten ihmeessä aito neandertalinihminen on päässyt viettämään iltaansa lontoolaiseen diskoon? Kuinka karvainen sukulaisemme on matkustanut 28 000 vuotta ajassa eteenpäin — ja voiko hänet palauttaa takaisin?

Myös tohtori Who ja hänen matkakumppaninsa Rose kohtaavat yöelämän väriläiskän, joka johdattaa heidät oudon mysteerin jäljille. Poliisikojuksi naamioitu Tardis-aikakone kuljettaa heidät kohti kivikauteen asettunutta yhteisöä, jossa juonitaan järkyttävää hanketta muinaisihmisten päänmenoksi. Jokainen kivi on käännettävä, ennen kuin salaisuudet saadaan päivänvaloon...

Doctor Who on brittiläisen televisiohistorian rakastetuimpia sarjoja ja saapuu viimein myös Suomeen syksyllä 2006. Kulttimaineen saaneeseen scifi-sarjaan perustuvat Doctor Who -kirjat ovat itsenäisiä seikkailuja, joita ei tulla näkemään televisiossa.
