The cover was initially intended to show a painting commissioned from [[David McAllister]].  [[Peter Davison]], however, was not pleased with McAllister's likeness of him, and a publicity photograph of Davison as [[the Doctor]] posing in front of the [[TARDIS]] was used instead. Most novelizations of the other [[Fifth Doctor]] [[List of television stories|television stories]] followed this same motif.
