'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was a novelisation based on the 1987 television serial ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]''. The cover art of the original 1988 edition marked the first appearance of an image of [[Sylvester McCoy]] as the [[Seventh Doctor]] and, in fact, the first time an image of the then-current incarnation of the Doctor had been featured since the final use of a photographic image of [[Peter Davison]]'s [[Fifth Doctor]] on the cover of ''[[Enlightenment (novelisation)|Enlightenment]]'' in 1984. A hardcover edition was planned, but cancelled. | '''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was a novelisation based on the 1987 television serial ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]''.
