Publisher's summary
The future is dying. All over the universe, gaps are beginning to appear. From the space lanes terrorised by the rag-tag remnants of the once-mighty Rocket Men, to the empire of the Gorlans, stricken by a terrible civil war. Gaps in space/time, portents of the end of everything.

Only three beings might prevent it. The Doctor, a renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey. , another renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey. And, yet another renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey.

One Doctor. Two Masters. What could possibly go wrong?

 * The Doctor cannot remember his encounters with the Master in Hexford in 2016 during his fifth incarnation (AUDIO: And You Will Obey Me) or at the prison with the Carmentine Mind Leach during his sixth incarnation also in 2016 (AUDIO: Vampire of the Mind), which he attributes to reality collapsing around the Masters.

 * The new Master recalls his attempt to steal the Fifth Doctor's body. (AUDIO: And You Will Obey Me)
 * The new Master refers to the fact that he has broken into the Time Lord base on Tersurus before. (AUDIO: UNIT: Dominion)
 * The decayed Master tells his future self that he has recently begun using stasers. (TV: The Deadly Assassin)

 * The Doctor tells the Masters that he does not always get along with his other selves. (TV: The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, The Two Doctors; AUDIO: The Sirens of Time)
 * The Doctor comments that the universe is sick and needs a Doctor, much like during his victory speech in 2008. (TV: The Sound of Drums).
 * During the first confrontation between the two Masters, the new Master is responsible for the decayed Master being reduced to his current state; this appears to contradict PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks, where the Master's condition is caused by Susan destroying a Matter transmuter in his TARDIS with his Tissue Compression Eliminator. However, since the novel only depicts the Master being thrown from his TARDIS and being later discovered by Chancellor Goth, rather than explicitly stating that he is reduced to his crippled state by the blast, the two can be reconciled with the assumption that the younger Master survived Susan's attack and subsequently found another TARDIS to begin his raid on the Terserus compound, leading to his future self's attack.
 * The Doctor would later reboot the universe again during his eleventh incarnation. (TV: The Big Bang)
