::: Sorry I wasn't being clear (I definitely muddled things by saying "had a history"), but I meant that this novel clearly doesn't "establish[...] that the Doctor knew [[the Master]] prior to ''[[Terror of the Autons (TV story)|Terror of the Autons]]'' and they had known each other prior to this story" as the lead says. As all of the stories you mentioned post-date ''The Dark Path'', I'm a bit confused by the point of that.

Hold on, didn't Terror of the Autons establish that the Doctor and the Master had a history prior to Terror of the Autons? -- Tybort (talk page) 17:49, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

No, it said they used to be at school together. --Revan\Talk 18:32, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
My mistake, but that still leaves the "knew each other" bit as inaccurate, yes? -- Tybort (talk page) 18:43, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
No as The End of Time, Master and Divided Loyalties all show that the Doctor and the Mast were friends who played together in their youth and attended the Academy together. --Revan\Talk 19:17, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
