The Forgotten Son was the first novel published by Candy Jar Books and premiered their Lethbridge-Stewart series. The series was licensed by Henry Lincoln and the Mervyn Haisman estate and is set following the events of The Web of Fear.
Publisher's summary
The Great Intelligence has been defeated. And Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart’s world has changed.
For Colonel Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart his life in the Scots Guards was straightforward enough; rising in the ranks through nineteen years of military service. But then his regiment was assigned to help combat the Yeti incursion in London, the robotic soldiers of an alien entity known as the Great Intelligence. For Lethbridge-Stewart, life would never be the same again.
Now he has a mammoth task ahead of him – the repopulating of London; millions of civilians need to be returned home after being evacuated so suddenly. On top of that, he also has his engagement to think about.
Meanwhile in the small Cornish village of Bledoe a man is haunted by the memory of an accident thirty years old. The Hollow Man of Remington Manor seems to have woken once more. And in Coleshill, Buckinghamshire, Mary Gore is plagued by the voice of a small boy, calling her home.
What connects these strange events to the recent Yeti incursion, and just what has it all to do with Lethbridge-Stewart?

Continuity
There are several mentions of a secret vault in Northumberland, where the Yeti and other technology left over from the London Event are stored, and where Anne Travers went to work on behalf of the British Army after TV: The Web of Fear. In PROSE: One Cold Step it is revealed to be the Vault, which is a part of the Ministry of Technology, and laterly, in PROSE: The Scales of Injustice, run by C19 and much later, in various Big Finish plays, taken over by UNIT.
On page 26, Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart makes mention of his awareness of the United Nations creating new protocols the previous year. This is a reference to the United Nations First Contact Protocols of 1968 as mentioned in TV: The Sound of Drums.
On page 259 Lethbridge-Stewart sees his future, which includes allusions to various incarnations of the Doctor ("and there were many others too -- so many faces, but all one man"), his wives (Fiona and Doris), his children and his grandchildren (Kate mentions she is a mother of two in TV: Death in Heaven). He also sees his resurrection as a Cyberman, and the final salute of the Twelfth Doctor. He does not retain any of this information, however.
