Publisher's Summary

'All right, let's start with the basics. The world ended on the twelfth of October, Nineteen Seventy...'

I don't know why I'm writing this. It's not like anybody's going to read it. At least, nobody who cares about the fact that I'm a desperate, dying, 23-year-old human being who's just had the whole of history taken away from her.

To whoever's out there, to whatever's left, this is the way things were, just before the end. This is the story about the last days of London, about murder and love and waking up in the ruins, about all the people buried in the wreckage...

I'm lying, obviously. This is my story. This is what I was doing, when October the twelfth came. Because, let's face it, I'm the only one who really matters.

I'm the only one who got out alive.

Notes

  • At the start of the novel it contains a note from Miles which states:
Note for continuity purists and nobody else: the universe in which much of 'Dead Romance' takes place - the universe of the Gods, the planet Dellah and Bernice Summerfield - is the same universe in which 'Christmas on a Rational Planet, 'Down' and indeed every other New Adventure takes place. However, this absolutely and positively isn't the same universe in which any other books I might have written are set.
Believe me.
  • Starting on page 199 is a discussion through the Summerfield Family Tree (from the 'real' universe, ie Bernice Summerfield's family tree).
  • The cover of the novel is actually part of the plot, it is the photo Christine takes of London, shortly after the Time Lords take over the bottle Earth.

Continuity

  • Also in Interference it's mentioned that the Time Lords are making 'Ogron Lords' by altering them to be time compatible, this concept is first introduced in this novel.
