The Dogs of War (LS short story)

The Dogs of War was a short story released by Candy Jar Books in 2015.

Publisher's summary
The London Event was only the beginning, or so Colonel Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart believed. Until he was ordered to meet with Air Vice-Marshal Ian Gilmore. It began in 1963 – for Gilmore, at least. But the alien codenamed Cosmic Hobo visited Earth a lot earlier than that.

It's not only Lethbridge-Stewart who wishes to learn the truth of these visits. He is being watched, and soon Lethbridge-Stewart and Gilmore find themselves in the deserted tunnels of the London Underground chased by a familiar furry form...

Characters

 * Colonel Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart
 * Air Vice-Marshal Ian Gilmore
 * Leslie Johnston
 * Reynolds
 * Professor Edward Travers

Continuity

 * The meeting between Lethbridge-Stewart and Gilmore was first mentioned in PROSE: Downtime and expanded upon in PROSE: The Scales of Injustice.
 * The Colonel mentions how he was talked out of going to the United Nations in The Forgotten Son.
 * The mention of the Home-Army Operational Corps in PROSE: One Cold Step is fleshed out.
 * References are made to the then-recent Counter-Measures audio dramas. This caused a continuity error later, when Clean Sweep and Who Killed Toby Kinsella had Gilmore presumed dead and hiding under a fake identity between 1965 and 1973. The Enfolded Time would later establish that this story simultaneously happened in 1969 and 1975.
 * Army files cover the events of TV: The War Machines, The Faceless Ones, Delta and the Bannermen, and Remembrance of the Daleks.
 * Gilmore refers to the Vault, the Forge and (not by name) the Torchwood Institute as examples of shadowy groups trying to squirrel away technology without telling the government. The Vault is currently the main problem. Reference is made to "the General", the shadowy boss first mentioned in PROSE: The Schizoid Earth.
 * Leslie Johnston, the Brigadier's old Sandhurst friend, was first mentioned in The Forgotten Son.
 * The Royal Air Force use 76 Totter's Lane as a field base.
