Charles Darwin and the Silurian Survival was the second novel in the Icons Series novella series. It was written by L.D. lapinski and featured the Tenth Doctor and Charles Darwin.

Publisher's summary[]

Some discoveries should never be made...

When Charles Darwin takes a break from a long sea voyage to look for shells on the Galápagos Islands, he finds two things that really shouldn't be there. The first is a sunbathing Doctor. The Second is a fresh Silurian skull...

When more Silurians are discovered by Darwin's crew - alive, this time - there is pandemonium. And when the island's volcano starts erupting, years ahead of schedule, it looks like all-out war.

The Doctor has his hands full. Can he keep Charles - and his evolutionary theory alive?

The history of science is at stake.
