Paradox Lost was the eleventh Eleventh Doctor novel to be released.
Publisher's summary
"The Squall feed on psychic energy. They spread like a plague and if they are not stopped they will strip the Earth clean..."
London 1910: an unsuspecting thief finds himself confronted by grey-skinned creatures that are waiting to devour his mind. London 2789: the remains of an ancient android are dredged from the Thames. When reactivated it has a warning that can only be delivered to a man named 'the Doctor'.
The Doctor and his friends must solve a mystery that has spanned over a thousand years. If they fail, the deadly alien Squall will devour the world.
Characters
References
- While fleeing the Squall in a car the Doctor makes a reference to Bessie.
- Amy brings up the idea of experiments involving drills, but soon states that she "could do without the earth suddenly opening beneath [her] feet again". (DW: The Hungry Earth)
- Professor Angelchrist reads records of previous incarnations of the Doctor, describing a "tall, thin man with long hair and a frock coat" (the Eighth Doctor), a man with "teeth and curls" and "a long wollen scarf" (the Fourth Doctor), a man who wore a "leather jacket" and "spoke with a Northern accent" (the Ninth Doctor), and a man clad in a "pantomine coat of many colours" (the Sixth Doctor).
Notes
- This story was also released as an ebook available from the Amazon Kindle store.
Continuity
- The Doctor says "top hats are cool", a variation of his catchphrase "bow ties are cool". (DW: The Eleventh Hour, et al) It is also an indication to the Eleventh Doctor's fondness for hats. (DW: The Big Bang, The Impossible Astronaut)
- The Doctor shouts "Geronimo!", another of his catchphrases. (DW: The End of Time, et al)
- Rory recalls aliens made of wool (NSA: The Glamour Chase), vampire creatures (DW: The Vampires of Venice) and nuclear bombs (NSA: Nuclear Time).
- The Doctor tells Professor Angelchrist "I'm the one the monsters are scared of." He made similar declarations in The Girl in the Fireplace and The Hungry Earth.
- 28th century London has an oxygen factory in its center, similar to the one on the Byzantium. (DW: Flesh and Stone) This factory, however, has live animals within it.
- Rory mentions that both he and Amy have experience with "waiting". (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Big Bang)
- The Doctor mentions that the rift caused by the Squall is large enough to drive a double decker bus through, then mentions that he has done something similar. (DW: Planet of the Dead)
