Publisher's summary[]

The thing about black holes is, they're big and they're black and they're deadly, and you'd have to be mad to go anywhere near them. Because anything that falls inside a black hole ends up crushed in the singularity.

Unfortunately, the Doctor just went mad, or so it seems, and flew his TARDIS beyond a black hole's event horizon, causing him and his companion Lucie Miller to end up marooned on a planetoid just inside the event horizon. Along with a Dalek saucer... and something else. Because this is no ordinary black hole...

This is the Cradle of the Darkness.

Lucie mentions her last adventure with the Cybermen and the Time Lords' witness-protection program. (AUDIO: Human Resources)
Lucie mentions her Auntie Pat in passing. She last met her in AUDIO: Horror of Glam Rock.
The Doctor once again suffers from memory issues, a common occurrence through his eighth incarnation. (TV: Doctor Who, PROSE: Unnatural History, Vanishing Point, The Burning, Wolfsbane; AUDIO: Minuet in Hell, Terror Firma, Orbis, The Girl Who Never Was, One Life, In the Garden of Death)
The Daleks observe the Doctor ejecting an item from his TARDIS into the Canthares supernova. This is in fact the Fourth Doctor in his initial attempt to destroy the Fendahl. (TV: Image of the Fendahl, AUDIO: Island of the Fendahl)
