Publisher's summary

When the planet Archetryx is threatened by a Dalek assault squad, the Doctor and Evelyn become embroiled in an ever-deepening mystery. What has become of President Romana, missing for twenty years? What lurks in the vast gravity wells of Archetryx? What is the secret of the ancient element the Daleks are synthesising -- and how does Gallifrey feature in their plans?

The Doctor finds that if his oldest enemies cannot conquer the universe they will watch it go up in flames...

Elements

  • Particles found on Etra Prime are what the Daleks call the 'Apocalypse Element', an entropic power present in crystals which can channel mental energy and behave contrary to the laws of physics.

Galaxies

  • The Daleks detonated a particle of the Apocalypse Element in the Seriphia Galaxy destroying everything in it.
  • Gallifrey's galaxy is a neighbour of the Seriphean Galaxy it is four times the size of the Milky Way galaxy and home to over six hundred billion stars.

Gallifreyan technology

Other realities

  • The Doctor mentions Romana having been in E-space.

Planets

  • Archetryx is host to a 'Time Treaty' of 'twenty of the greatest powers in space-time'.
  • Etra Prime is the oldest planetoid in the known universe.

Psychology

Races and species

Science

  • The Gravity wells on Archetryx are subterranean shafts where zero gravity able is able to be manipulated.

TARDISes

Time technology

  • Archetryx is protected by a temporal barrier, inside which everything is one minute in the future.
  • The Monan Host's time craft has powerful engines, more so than even the Time Lords' TARDISes.

Notes

Continuity

  • It was established in NA: Happy Endings that Romana was president of the High Council.
  • This story goes some way to explain why the Eye of Harmony in the TARDIS in DW: Doctor Who required a human eye.
  • Due to these events, Romana established the Temporal Powers, an alliance with multiple time-active factions in BFG: Insurgency.
