Dinosaurs and a New Earth

I love these crazy plots. Dinosaurs are appearing and disappearing in central London. How and Why? The Doctor is called upon to answer these questions. And of course to save all of mankind. After all, anyone can solve a simple little problem like dinosaurs in modern London, but if all mankind needs saving it takes the Doctor :) A fun read, the Doctor has Sarah as his companion in this one and the fine folks at UNIT to provide an assist. As with all these novilizations I have read so far there is lots of action, but not a lot of explanation of the thoughts in people's minds that drive these actions. Also as with all these I have read so far it is a quick fun read, a couple hours of enjoyment. The end could be taken as a bit preachy, but you can just take it at face value and you have a satisfactory conclusion to a fun story.
