* Besides its continuity connections to the Doctor Who universe, ''The Book of the War'' also includes references to many stories from other universes and genres. For instance, the effects of [[praxis]] and, more specifically, the story of young [[Robert Scarratt]] defusing a native uprising on [[House Xianthellipse]]'s praxis-supplying planet reference the classic science fiction novel ''{{w|Dune (novel)|Dune}}''; similarly, the [[Eremite]]s, who self-mutilate and live in the [[labyrinth (The Book of the War)|labyrinth]], mirror the [[w:c:cenobite:Cenobite|Cenobite]]s from {{w|Clive Barker}}'s ''{{w|Hellraiser (franchise)|Hellraiser}}'' franchise. | |||
