I only realised half-way through that it is #2 in the series, which is a bit annoying. Reading the blurb for #1 it appears to be about a completely different set of characters, so maybe "Dog" is okay to have been read in isolation.

TSNOTD is actually the third published story in that universe but as DiapDealer says they aren't really that connected. The first published was a short story "Fire Watch", then
Doomsday Book (my favorite of the three). There is a little cross-over but nothing major in these three. There is much more in the last two though (
Blackout and
All Clear) which are really one story in two volumes as I understand it.
