- At a guess, maybe it means first PDA novel to feature this lineup, and the first overall since Cold Fusion (since Cold Fusion is an MA novel). Shambala108 ☎ 04:06, December 6, 2013 (UTC)
- I did a little digging, and this is what happened. We used to have prefixes for the different lines of prose. Someone had written the following: "the first [[PDA]] novel to feature this line up of Doctor and companions".
