Twilight of the Silurians was a comic story printed in Doctor Who Weekly. It was written by Steve Moore.
Summary[]
At a Silurian zoological research station, Velk is unimpressed by Nagara and Guruz's display of the captive apes and of his attempts to force pre-human apes to learn and display intelligence. He is more concerned with a call to all Silurians to take to the shelters to avoid the predicted collision with of Earth and its planetary neighbour.
Kin, leader of the apes, strangles Guruz in response to another beating. Nagara returns to set the apes free, believing they would thank him for the discipline he had given them. Nagara accepts a woven headband like Kin's, but only when the headband is in place does he realize that his third eye is blocked by a stone at the front — leaving him powerless. KIn and the apes then proceed to exact revenge on Nagara for their brutal captivity.
