Primeval is a tie-in fiction series to the British ITV television programme of the same name, which aired from 2007 to 2011. The ten books published in 2008 and 2009 follow the same Anomaly Research Centre team from the show, led by Professor Nick Cutter, as they investigate temporal anomalies that allow prehistoric and future creatures to break through into the present day. The books were published by Titan Books to coincide with the show’s run.
The series covers a range of creature encounters across different settings, with each book providing a discrete adventure. Titles include Shadow of the Jaguar and The Lost Island, which are full-length novels, alongside shorter chapter books aimed at younger readers in the same format. Dan Abnett was among the authors who contributed to the series.
All ten books are listed in the reading order table below. The series is recommended for fans of the television programme or readers who enjoy creature-based science fiction adventure.
