The Adolescence of Time was the forty-second Bernice Summerfield audio story released by Big Finish Productions. It was the second story of the ninth season.
Publisher's summary
Earth is still suffering the after-effects of the asteroid (or something) which collided with the planet many years ago: the dust cloud which blots out the sun shows no sign of settling and the dinosaurs are doomed. Above the cloud, colonies of winged reptiles – more intelligent than any we know of – are fighting to survive. A strange creature calling itself Summerfield appears in their midst: is it destined to save them?
Plot
The pterodactyl Tektekachuan repairs a Time Ring, inside of which the Wyrm now lives, and sends it sixty-five million years into the future to find and bring back its former mistress, Benny. It instead travels to Peter and pulls him back in time, but he is able to fight it enough to deviate from the course and he is instead found by Celethua, who summons the diplomat Ixotta to help given his initial distress. Peter suspects that he was pulled back by a malevolent will which is now blocking the ring from taking him back to the 27th century and is surprised to find that the pterodactyl colony is on a rock floating in the Earth's sky, above poisonous Cloud.
