Gods and Monsters (audio story)

 was the third story in the 2012 Seventh Doctor audio trilogy. It concluded the "Seventh Doctor/Ace/Hex series", which began in 2004 with The Harvest.

Publisher's summary
The TARDIS travellers arrive in a bizarre landscape seemingly immune to the physical laws governing the rest of the universe. Ace, Hex, Sally and Lysandra battle to rescue the Doctor from the trap he's walked into… soon realising that the odds are stacked against them.

Because the Doctor is playing an old adversary again: Fenric, shatterer of worlds. But the gods and monsters who inhabit this strange realm loaded the dice against them long ago, in the dim and distant past — and defeat's their only option.

Continuity

 * The Doctor says "We play the game again" mirroring Fenric's first words upon possessing Dr. Judson: "We play the contest again...Time Lord." (TV: The Curse of Fenric)
 * Fenric refers to Ace as "child of the baby." (TV: The Curse of Fenric)
 * Ace mentions the Karnas'koi (AUDIO: Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge), the Mi'en Kalarash (AUDIO: House of Blue Fire) and Moloch (AUDIO: Protect and Survive).
 * Lysandra is aware that Sally suffers from athazagoraphobia. (AUDIO: House of Blue Fire)
 * In the alternative timeline, Sally uses the Truth Sayer on Lysandra. In 2015, a younger version of Lysandra used it on Sally. (AUDIO: Project: Nirvana)
 * Hex recalls being shot by Brigadier-General Bartholomew "Barty" Kitchen in Scutari on 19 November 1854. (AUDIO: The Angel of Scutari)
 * Ace refers to her friend Midge. (TV: Survival)
 * Weyland is revealed to be the blacksmith which the Doctor mentioned was located in Perivale. (TV: Dragonfire, Ghost Light)
 * It is revealed that the chess sets in the Swiss sanatorium in 1926 were left there by Fenric. (AUDIO: The Magic Mousetrap)
 * Fenric claimed that he had a backup companion in mind for the Doctor, namely "a lovelorn motorcyclist...from Wales." This is a reference to Rachel "Ray" Defwydd, in the 1987 television story, (TV: Delta and the Bannermen). This is an in-joke, as that character was, at one point, being considered as a new companion, before it was decided to introduce Ace.
 * The Truth Sayer was explained in Project: Nirvana.
 * Weyland claimed to have directly influenced the creation of The Forge, and manipulated the lives of all of its personnel. (AUDIO: Project: Twilight, Project Lazarus, Project Destiny, Project: Nirvana, PROSE: Project Valhalla)
