himself and Fray'kon into space. As the remainder of the fleet blows up as the TARDIS dematerialises. The Doctor, who still cannot remember anything, offers to take Anji home, but the TARDIS materialises onto a prehistoric landscape instead. Continuity The character of Control, the head of a secret division within the Central Intelligence Agency that investigates paranormal activity, appears in this novel. He also appears in The Devil Goblins from Neptune, The King of Terror and Time Zero. It is implied he may have a connection to the Celestial Intervention Agency. The Doctor suggests he may be an exile from the 49th century, a reference to the first, unbroadcast version of the pilot episode, An Unearthly Child. It is implied that the Doctor's memories remain in his mind, albeit suppressed, as he remembers the appearances of the First Doctor and the Second Doctor in a passing comment to Anji.
