Notes
- While initially intended as a standalone novel, PROSE: Prisoner of the Daleks can function as a prequel to Dalek Universe. A 2009 novel that also features the Tenth Doctor stranded in a period of history prior to the Last Great Time War. Distinctively, the audio series also depicts the Doctor's return to his post-War timestream, a detail which is left ambiguous in the novel.
