Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
When the Doctor decides to stop a war, the last thing he expects is to be trapped aboard a doomed spaceship with his oldest friend — who just happens to also be his oldest enemy. The Reborn Master is just as surprised: this isn't part of his master plan.
Meanwhile, Liv and Sally tiptoe around a brilliant and dangerous man. Professor Markus Schriver is a genius in the field of teleportation and neural manipulation. Unfortunately, he is also insane.
The clock is ticking, and not everyone can make it out alive...

- The Celestial Intervention Agency allowed the Master to read up on the Doctor's past. He mentions the fates of Lucie Miller, Tamsin Drew and Alex Campbell. (AUDIO: To the Death)
- The Master gloats that many have sacrificed their lives in the Doctor's name and that the Doctor runs away because of them, similar to Davros' later confrontation with the Tenth Doctor. (TV: The Stolen Earth)
- Liv tells Sally that the Master doesn't really need her but just someone to hold his test tubes and tell him how wonderful he is. This closely resembles what the Brigadier once told the Doctor about his companions. (TV: Terror of the Autons)
