Synopsis

Years after leaving UNIT, Jo Grant receives a plea for help from an old acquaintance. A palaeontological study of the earliest known humans is apparently under threat from a UNIT force led by a captain who does not officially exist. Investigating further, she begins to find herself out of her depth — and out of the twentieth century altogether...

Meanwhile, the Eighth Doctor and Sam visit Earth in 2109 — but there is no trace of the human race. Earth is home of the Tractites, a peaceful race who have been living there for hundreds of thousands of years. Astonished and appalled, the Doctor travels back in time to see just what went wrong in Earth's prehistory.

Why have Jo and the expedition been taken back in time? Are the Tractites all they seem? Finally, separated from the TARDIS, the Doctor's last chance to put things right rests with Sam — but has even she turned against him?

Possibly the problem is on me for expecting 90s sci-fi to be normal about either women or disabled people.

There were some good moments, but enough bad ones for my 3-star "pretty good with a weak plot resolution" rating to get knocked down to a 2-star "Jesus Christ, man".


The fact it took me four gos to get through this book shows off my adhd so well honestly though this is an amazing story I feel Sam is finally her self now and finally I’m properly hooked on 8th and hers dynamic
