* It is not made clear which variant of Cyberman the Doctor encounters in this novel. The Doctor's mention of the [[Telos]]ian [[Cyber-tomb]]s imply they are [[Cyberman (Mondas)|the ones]] from [[Mondas]]. However, the Cybermen are heard using the term "Delete" and have [[Cyber wrist blaster|blasters on the wrists]] (although they do not use them) like the [[Cybus Industries|Cybus]] [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|variant]]. As seen on the cover, they are the same Cybermen of the [[Cyber Legion]]s from [[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War]] '', [[TV]]: ''[[Closing Time (TV story)|Closing Time]]'' and [[GAME]]: ''[[The Eternity Clock (video game)|The Eternity Clock]]''. [[TV]]: ''[[Nightmare in Silver (TV story)|Nightmare in Silver]]'' implies the two separate Cyberman variants have become the same race. | * It is not made clear which variant of Cyberman the Doctor encounters in this novel.

*This is the second Cyberman story of the revived series in which no head Cyberman - [[Cyber-Leader]], [[Cyber-Lord]], [[Cyber-controller|Cyber-Controller]] or [[Cyber-Planner]] - is identified, the first being [[GAME]]: ''[[The Mazes of Time (video game)|The Mazes of Time]]''. Only standard Cyberman are featured, although it is possible that there originally was a commander but it did not survive the crash. | |||
