Publisher's summary
Deimos, moon of Mars – where Lord Slaadek's plans to revive the ancient Ice Warrior civilisation hang by a thread. Only the Doctor can stop him… but an old enemy, hiding in the catacombs, has an alternative plan, one that will test the Doctor's heroism to its limits. Just how far will the Doctor go to prevent the destruction and resurrection of Mars – on a day when his friends become enemies, and his enemies have right on their side?

Continuity

 * The Doctor mentions that he has not seen Lucie since the previous Christmas, relatively speaking. (BFA: Death in Blackpool)
 * Tamsin asks the Monk if he is "fed up of skulking around monasteries, trying to pilfer illuminated manuscripts." (BFA: The Book of Kells)
 * The Monk tells Tamsin that he was the time traveller who organised the companion auditions in London in 2010. (BFA: Situation Vacant)
 * The Monk's TARDIS is damaged after the Doctor stole the directional unit. (BFA: The Book of Kells)
 * This is not the first time that the Monk has used the Ice Warriors in his plans. (DWM: 4-Dimensional Vistas)
 * The Doctor discovers that Lucie was the Monk's accomplice "Brother Lucianus" at the Abbey of Kells while Lucie learns that the Doctor was the apothecary who was assisting "Sister Maria." (BFA: The Book of Kells)
 * During their travels together, Lucie and the Monk met the Sensorites. During his first incarnation, the Doctor, his granddaughter Susan Foreman, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright encountered them in their native Sense Sphere in the 28th century. (DW: The Sensorites)
 * The Doctor tells Lucie that he used to be "the man with a masterplan" who arranged the destruction of his enemies and the toppling of dictatorships in order to serve the greater good to the point where he began to countenance sacrificing the lives of the few to save those of the many. (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks, et. al) He eventually began travelling on his own as he was no loner willing to risk the lives of his companions after an incident which he does not want to discuss. Following his regeneration into his eighth incarnation in San Francisco on 31 December 1999, the Doctor abandoned these tendencies and vowed that he would never travel alone again as he did not want to forget how precious life is. (DW: Doctor Who (1996))
 * The Monk tells the Doctor that he will be "hoist on his own petard" (DW: The King's Demons) due to his "spurious morality" (DW: The Ultimate Foe).
 * The Doctor asks Lucie if she wishes to visit the acid seas on Marinus. (DW: The Keys of Marinus)
 * Lucie refers to the death of her aunt Patricia Ryder. (BFA: Death in Blackpool)
 * The Monk tells Tamsin that he intends to forge an alliance with old friends who also have a few scores to settle with the Doctor. (BFA: Lucie Miller / To the Death)
