Notes
- The novel takes place at the exact same time as the short story PROSE: Plant Life, both featuring Gwen's first day back to work after her honeymoon. In both Gwen tells Jack that she is retaining her name professionally.
- Tosh has gone through the records of past team members and had noted all had died 'on the job'. But in PROSE: Trace Memory it indicates Charles Cromwell left Torchwood in 1975 and lived for another thirty years.
- This book is also available as an ebook from the Amazon Kindle store.
Continuity
- Gwen remembers getting pregnant on her hen night (TV: Something Borrowed) and the first time she saw a Weevil in the Royal Cardiff Infirmary (TV: Everything Changes). The reference is made to the fact that Rhys has encountered a few aliens in the past few months. (TV: Meat, Something Borrowed, COMIC: Harm's Way, PROSE: Pack Animals)
- Gwen suspects that Brian Shaw was taken by the Rift, a concept that is further explored in TV: Adrift.
- It has been two months since TV: Reset and just under two weeks since TV: Something Borrowed.
- Toshiko mentions that it's September. But the novel Pack Animals takes place in October and is set before Gwen's Wedding.
