Publisher's summary

‘And what exactly, Doctor Shaw, do you think C19 does with the dead bodies of plastic dummies, reptile men, primordial throwbacks and all their human victims?’

A little boy goes missing; a policewoman begins drawing cave paintings; and the employees at the mysterious Glasshouse are desperate to keep everyone away -- the Doctor suspects it’s all down to a group of homo reptilia. His assistant, Liz Shaw, has ideas of her own and has teamed up with a journalist to search for people who don’t exist.

While the Brigadier has to cope with UNIT funding, the breakdown of his marriage and Geneva’s threats to replace him, the Doctor must find the reptiles alone.

And behind it all lies a conspiracy to exploit UNIT’s achievements -- a conspiracy reaching deep into the heart of the British Government.

The alternate 'cover' for the E-Book publication
  • The chapters are referred to as "Episodes".
  • This story was released as an E-Book on the BBC website.

Continuity

  • This story retroactively fixes some of the apparent inconsistencies of DW: Warriors of the Deep; specifically, this story explains how the Doctor knows Icthar, and how he knows of the Triad and the Myrka.
  • The "Older Silurian", "Younger Silurian", and "Silurian Scientist" of DW: Doctor Who and the Silurians are here named respectively as Okdel, Morka, and K'to.
  • As in DW: Warriors of the Deep, Sea Devils are referred to by that name by the Silurians. This novel makes it clear that their full name is Sea Devil Warriors, and that they are a caste as much as a sub-species.
  • The Myrka, which first appeared on screen in DW: Warriors of the Deep, is used by the Silurians in this story.
  • Dr. Judson and the ULTIMA machine, seen in DW: The Curse of Fenric, are mentioned.
