Plague of the Cybermen (novel)

Plague of the Cybermen is one of three Eleventh Doctor novels published in April 2013.

Publisher's summary
When the Doctor arrives in the 19th-century village of Klimtenburg, he discovers the residents suffering from some kind of plague - a 'wasting disease'. The victims face a horrible death - but what's worse, the dead seem to be leaving their graves. The Plague Warriors have returned.

The Doctor is confident he knows what's really happening; he understands where the dead go, and he's sure the Plague Warriors are just a myth. But as some of the Doctor's oldest and most terrible enemies start to awaken he realises that maybe - just maybe - he's misjudged the situation.

Continuity

 * The Doctor recalls the Cyber-tombs on Telos. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen) Some of the dialoge from that story is used here, such as the Doctor yelling "It's got my leg!" as his second incarnation did and a Cyberman chanting "You belong to us. You will be like us" which echos the words of the Cyber-Controller.
 * The Doctor claims he can speak seven-year old, similar to how he claimed to speak Baby in TV: A Good Man Goes to War and TV: Closing Time. The Cybermen also appeared in both of these stories and the latter story also featured the surviving crew of a crashed Cyber Ship attempting to recover.
 * Olga claims the Doctor is bad at lying. (TV: Flesh and Stone, The Vampires of Venice, A Christmas Carol, Bad Night)
 * The Cybermen use converted wolves, known as Cyber Wolves. The Cybermen on Centuria used Cyberdogs in their mines. (COMIC: Enemy Mine). Additionally, the brains of cats and dogs were also used for Cybershades. (TV: The Next Doctor)
