Continuity
- A line removed from the final novel would have explained that the Tzun cloned the Master during McIntee's's novel First Frontier, explaining the contradictory stories featuring the Master set after Survival.
- Sarah's meeting with the Seventh Doctor seems to contradict the 2006 series episode "School Reunion", written some years later, where she claimed she had not seen the Doctor for decades. However, the ending of this novel also implies that Sarah was killed in 1997. This was part of a larger story arc involving a group known as the Council of Eight who were attempting to eliminate the Doctor and his companions from the timeline. When the Council were defeated in Sometime Never..., some of their actions were reversed, so to what extent the events of this novel were left intact within the continuity of the Eighth Doctor Adventures is unclear.

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:
“If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“Continuous eloquence wearies.... Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
