Minuet in Hell (audio story)

Publisher's summary
The twenty-first century has just begun, and Malebolgia is enjoying its status as the newest state in America. After his successful involvement with Scotland's devolution, Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart has been invited over to Malebolgia to offer some of his experiences and expertise.

There he encounters the charismatic Brigham Elisha Dashwood III, an evangelical statesman running for Governor who may not be quite as clean-cut and wholesome as he makes out. One of Dashwood's other roles in society is as patron of a new medical institute, concentrating on curing the ills of the human mind. One of the patients there interests the Brigadier -- someone who claims he travels through space and time in something called a TARDIS.

Charley, however, has more than a few problems of her own. Amnesiac, she is working as a hostess at the local chapter of the Hell Fire Club, populated by local dignitaries who have summoned forth the demon Marchosias. And the leader of the Club? None other than Dashwood, who seems determined to achieve congressional power by the most malevolent means at his disposal...

Continuity

 * The Brigadier uses a secure laptop to communicate with the Ministry of Defence. This is likely the same laptop that he would later use to communicate with NATO. (AUDIO: The Wasting)
 * After leaving Venice in 2294, the Doctor decided that it was time that he visited his American friend Dr. Grace Holloway. (TV: Doctor Who (1996))
 * The Doctor tells Charley that he once attempted to convince U.S. President Abraham Lincoln not to go to the theatre. However, the Sixth Doctor and his companion Evelyn Smythe ensured that Lincoln would be assassinated by John Wilkes Booth in Ford's Theatre on 14 April 1865. (AUDIO: Assassin in the Limelight)
 * After his mind has been merged with that of the Doctor, Gideon Crane mentions to the Doctor's former companions Susan Foreman, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright (TV: An Unearthly Child), Polly Wright (TV: The War Machines), Jamie McCrimmon (TV: The Highlanders), Sarah Jane Smith (TV: The Time Warrior), Romana (TV: The Ribos Operation), Nyssa (TV: The Keeper of Traken), Evelyn Smythe (AUDIO: The Marian Conspiracy) and Ace (TV: Dragonfire). He also mentions another companion named Sam, though it is unclear if he was referring to Samantha Jones (PROSE: The Eight Doctors) or Samson Griffin (AUDIO: Terror Firma).
 * Gideon Crane refers to the Fifth Doctor and Turlough's encounter with "lupine activity" in Brazil in 2080 (AUDIO: Loups-Garoux), the Second Doctor's companion Victoria Waterfield leaving the TARDIS to live with Frank and Maggie Harris in 1968 (TV: Fury from the Deep) and the Blinovitch Limitation Effect (TV: Day of the Daleks, TV: Mawdryn Undead) to test the actual Doctor's identity.
