Publisher's summary
Strange things are happening to the people of Greenwich. Phantoms of the living appear, while others are aged beyond their years. A cloaked figure stalks the streets, and time is out of joint.
Madame Vastra, Jenny and Strax find all clues point towards the Meridian Line. Beneath the Royal Observatory lies a secret – something terribly ancient and horribly dangerous…

Worldbuilding
- The Paternoster Gang visit the Royal Observatory in Greenwich.
- Vastra identifies negative chronons as "the very enemy of causality", as antimatter is to matter.
- The negative chronons flow along the Greenwich meridian line, also referred to as the prime meridian. Plumstead claims that the placement of the prime meridian was no mere human construct, as the creature beneath the site of the Royal Observatory had influenced its placement.
Notes
- This story gives an alternate account to PROSE: The Curious Case of the Miniature Menaces about the events surrounding the explosion at the Royal Observatory in 1894. In that earlier account, the Paternoster Gang face off against Gremlins.
Continuity
- Jenny refers to Strax having once been a nurse. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War)
- Plumstead says that the creature lives in gap between now and now which is similar to the Master's description of Interstitial time. (TV: The Time Monster)
