Publisher's summary[]
"If you step into history," said the Doctor, "I won't be able to protect you."
"This isn't history," said Roz. "This is family."
The Earth Empire — the Imperium Humanum, upon which a thousand suns never set — is dying.
The Great Houses of the Empire manoeuvre and scheme for advantage; alliances are made; and knives flash in the shadows. Out among the moons of Jupiter, another battle is just beginning, as an ancient brotherhood seeks limitless power and long-overdue revenge.
The Doctor returns to the thirtieth century, searching for the source of a terrifying weapon. He fears a nightmare from his own past may be about to destroy the future. Nothing must be allowed to get in his way.
But the Doctor has reckoned without the power of history — which has its own plans for the wayward daughter of the House of Forrester.

Notes[]
- So Vile a Sin was originally planned to be written solely by Aaronovitch but issues led to Kate Orman having to step in and finish the novel. The actual reason for this is most likely hard-drive failure.
- Originally, an evil entity at the center of the Earth was planned to make an appearance but was ditched once Kate Orman worked on So Vile a Sin.
In-universe continuity[]
- This novel picks up plot threads from Andy Lane's Original Sin, Russell T. Davies' Damaged Goods, and the various novels in the "Psi Powers Arc" (including Orman's SLEEPY and Simon Bucher-Jones' The Death of Art).
- Various alternate timelines for both the Doctor and Roz Forrester are shown.
