* The novel opens up with a prologue detailing the events following on from ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'', which took place [[4000|over a thousand years prior]] to this story's setting. Due to the [[First Doctor]]'s interference and the failure of the Dalek force on [[Kembel]] to destroy [[Earth]], numerous war forces were able to assemble to assault the main forces of the [[Dalek Empire]] in a [[Great War (The Evil of the Daleks)|series of wars]] over the course of the millennium, among them the [[Thal]]s, the [[Draconian]]s and the [[Terran Federation]]. The Daleks' disastrous performances in "their Great War" led their computers to predict that they would be fought to extinction within 80 years if things did not improve. | * The novel opens up with a prologue detailing the events following on from ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'', which took place [[4000|over a thousand years prior]] to this story's setting.

The Emperor's guards are also described as "almost entirely black", despite the black-domed Dalek seen on the cover, to better fit with the term of "[[Black Dalek]]s" used to describe them in the TV serial.
