It was the Fifth Doctor's entry in a loose trilogy of stories surrounding an attempted [[Cyberman]] invasion of [[Earth]], further detailed in ''[[The Harvest (audio story)|The Harvest]]'' and ''[[The Reaping (audio story)|The Reaping]]''. It also takes place concurrently with ''[[The Veiled Leopard (audio story)|The Veiled Leopard]]''. | It was the Fifth Doctor's entry in a loose trilogy of stories surrounding an attempted [[Cyberman]] invasion of [[Earth]], further detailed in ''[[The Harvest (audio story)|The Harvest]]'' and ''[[The Reaping (audio story)|The Reaping]]''.

As an individual story, however, it was certainly most notable for being the first [[Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories|monthly ''Doctor Who'' audio story]] to feature the Fifth Doctor travelling alone (due to his companions being engaged in the events of ''The Veiled Leopard''), and the first to feature Janet Fielding as Tegan. It was thus the first time she had reprised the role since 1985's ''[[A Fix with Sontarans]]''. {{As of|2019}}, it remains the only performed ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story to feature only the Fifth Doctor and Tegan alone, without any other [[companion]]s. It was also set later in Tegan's life than any other performed story, occurring in Jovanka's middle age, and was further unusual for showing Tegan in her native [[Brisbane]], [[Australia]]. | As an individual story, however, it was certainly most notable for being the first [[Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories|monthly ''Doctor Who'' audio story]] to feature the Fifth Doctor travelling alone (due to his companions being engaged in the events of ''The Veiled Leopard''), and the first to feature Janet Fielding as Tegan.

At the time it was released, it was thought to be Fielding's "one and only" audio story, and the marketing reflected that. However, in the light of her more regular audio appearances in the 2010s, that aspect of the story became less well-remembered. | At the time it was released, it was thought to be Fielding's "one and only" audio story, and the marketing reflected that.
