The Heart of Mars was the third and final novel in The Lora Trilogy, which continued the use of licensed characters from Magrs' prose Doctor Who works, including Toaster, a sunbed servo-furnishing originating in the NSA Sick Building, and Celestial Omnibuses, which stemmed from the alternately named version of Iris Wildthyme's TARDIS from the Iris Wildthyme series. Goomba, a character originating from the Eighth Doctor short story The Wickerwork Man, appears in this instalment as a Great Old One slumbering on Mars.
