As Claus quite correctly points out, the two books are totally independent, you certainly don't need one to play the other. They are linked thematically, but it's not necessary to have any knowledge of Cold City to play Hot War and vice versa.
Funny you should mention Dalek Invasion of Earth. It's one of the TV programmes listed in the mediography at the back of the book. I watch it for the first time while writing Hot War and was struck by the bleak sparseness of it. I'm not a huge Dr Who fan, but DIoE was certainly a DW story that I really enjoyed.
