Publisher's summary
The year is 1987 and there's a deadly new narcotic on the streets of London. As part of their investigations the Doctor and his companions Chris and Roz move into the Quadrant, a rundown housing estate. An ancient alien menace has been unleashed, a menace somehow linked to a local gang leader known as The Capper, a charmed young boy called Gabriel and his mother Winnie, the enigmatic Frei Foundation, and Eva Jericho, a woman driven to the brink of madness.

As London descends into an apocalyptic nightmare, the Doctor must uncover the truth about the residents of the Quadrant and a desperate bargain made one dark Christmas Eve.

Continuity

 * The Doctor says that he is "the definitive article." (TV: Robot)
 * The Doctor has never heard of the Torchwood Institute. (TV: Tooth and Claw, et al.) The Eighth Doctor later found cryptic references to Torchwood in files at the Edinburgh Herald, intending to look into them in the future. (AUDIO: The Scent of Blood) The Tenth Doctor, having evidently forgotten the identity of James Greco's employers, would later claim that he had never heard of Torchwood before his arrival at Torchwood One. (TV: Army of Ghosts)
 * The N-Forms were engineered by the Time Lords during the time war against the Great Vampires. (TV: State of Decay) The Doctor is surprised to learn there is another Time War yet to come.

Deviations from the original novel

 * The Quadrant is located in London, rather than in the north of England.
 * The drug is named SMILE rather than cocaine.
 * The opening scenes featuring the Doctor in New York City are cut.
 * Chris and David only kiss, rather than having sex.
 * Mrs Hearn is excised from the story, although she is referred to.
 * The Capper jumps from a building rather than setting himself on fire.
 * Mrs Jericho runs Thomas over rather than sticking cutlery in his chest.
 * Dr Greco works for the Torchwood Institute rather than the Brotherhood of the Immanent Flesh.
 * Lines where the Doctor speculates that the N-Form may have been reactivated by the Time Lords for a time war are reproduced from the original novel, but without the added context of the cliffhanger leading into So Vile a Sin (and its reveal that the Brotherhood of the Immanent Flesh are responsible) the audio leaves an implication (later picked up on in Desperate Measures, et al.) that the N-Form was reactivated for the Last Great Time War.
 * Both Bev and Gabriel survive, whereas in the novel only Gabriel survived in a coma. After Winnie dies, the siblings are adopted by David and Harry, thanks to the Doctor's intervention in the processing of the paperwork.
