| ==Notes==
| |
| * '''So Vile A Sin''' was to be written by [[Ben Aaronovitch]]. Due to various problems, [[Kate Orman]] assisted him in finishing it. However, it was still published late. The exact nature of the author's difficulties has never been fully clarified, with a hard drive failure and/or chronic writer's block being the two most widely reported at the time. As such, although it occurs earlier in the continuity of the NA adventures, it was actually the last of the series to be published, being released after the NA's only [[Eighth Doctor]] novel, ''[[The Dying Days]]''.
| |
| | |
| * According to the acknowledgements on page 313 of So Vile A Sin: "Kate here. After Ben's troubles in writing ''So Vile A Sin'', including a disastrous hard-drive crash, I stepped in at the last minute to finish it. Some of the book survived the crash, other bits existed as printouts, and Ben provided me with extensive plot and background notes to complete the bulk of the story."
