Wasn't sure if I was going to like this one at the start, but it picked up quickly. It was an adventure with my first and favorite Doctor, Nine and his companions Rose and Captain Jack. Excellent combo. This was a bit dark and had some 'yikes' moments. Not that the show doesn't get dark, but this was WHOA!

A person from the future, a twisted person, is experimenting with human genetics. They have created dangerous human/animal hybrids and have gone on an expedition to earth's past with plans to repopulate the planet with their creations and change the course of earth's history and evolution. Jack spent the majority of the adventure in the present day acclimating a wayward, time-traveling neanderthal to the mondern day, as he is essentially stuck there due to time travel shenanigans. The Doctor and Rose went to the past to battle the big bad.

This was a "hang on to the edge of your seat" story. Clearly you know the Doctor and his companions saved the day, but sometimes you just have no clue how it could be possible. A very enjoyable read/listen. I will be interested in reading more stories in this vein.
