Continuity

 * The Cloaked figure closely resembles the decaying version of the Master. He wears a black cloak with a hood, his hands are brown and swollen, and wears what appears to be a sash, all characteristics of the Master, specifically in TV: The Deadly Assassin.
 * The Cloaked figure studies images of the Doctor and his companions; including images of Rose Tyler, Leela, Romana I, The Brigadier, Jo Grant (including the infamous nude of Katy Manning with a Dalek), Martha Jones, Donna Noble, K9, Sarah Jane Smith, Vicki Pallister, Captain Jack Harkness, Romana II, Charley Pollard, Adric, Ace, Dodo Chaplet, Rory Williams, Amy Williams, Mickey Smith, Liz Shaw, Frobisher, Adam Mitchell, and Ian Chesterton; among others.
 * The Cloaked figure studies an image of the Seventh Doctor in a hospital whilst discussing the Doctor's ability to regenerate. (TV: Doctor Who)
 * The Cloaked figure studies images of the Fourth Doctor with Sarah Jane Smith driving away from the TARDIS while in Hollywood, Egyptian hieroglyphics with the Tenth Doctor, The TARDIS, and a woman in a dress; and the TARDIS parked in Cardiff.
 * The Cloaked figure described the First Doctor as "a teacher," the Ninth Doctor as "a soldier," the Sixth Doctor as "a madman," and the Tenth Doctor as "the Oncoming Storm." (TV: Parting of the Ways, et. al)
 * The book is very much a seauel to TV: The Web Planet, with the reintroduction of the p Zarbi and the Animus.
