* This was the first ''Doctor Who'' novel to take place between two issues of ''[[DWM comic stories|Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comic strips rather than two television serials. | * This was the first ''Doctor Who'' novel to take place between two issues of ''[[DWM comic stories|Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comic strips rather than two television serials. However, the chosen placement of ''[[War-Game (comic story)|War-Game]]'' and ''[[Funhouse (comic story)|Funhouse]]'' creates a continuity problem. Events in ''Funhouse'', directly tie into Peri's reintroduction in ''[[Abel's Story (comic story)|Abel's Story]]'', featuring an involuntary sabbatical in New York on Earth. The novel may, therefore, be better placed following ''[[The Age of Chaos (comic story)|The Age of Chaos]]'', which reintroduces Frobisher and addresses aspects of the Doctor's trial. | ||
