Although purporting to be an encyclopedia of the first fifty years of [[The War| the War in Heaven]], ''The Book of the War'' offers mostly original information rather than summaries of established events. It should then be understood as a work of fiction in its own right, something somewhere between an anthology and a collaborative novel. | *Although purporting to be an encyclopedia of the first fifty years of [[The War| the War in Heaven]], ''The Book of the War'' offers mostly original information rather than summaries of established events.

Its narrator is unreliable, at times unaware of details from other sources which might cast a different light on the events related, and so information offered as 'fact' in the book should not be uncritically accepted as such. Despite this, and despite the Doctor's actions in [[The Ancestor Cell]] preventing many of the events it describes from ever occurring, ''The Book of the War'' offers the closest and most detailed look so far at a [[Time War]] in progress. | *Its narrator is unreliable, at times unaware of details from other sources which might cast a different light on the events related, and so information offered as 'fact' in the book should not be uncritically accepted as such.

*[[Lance Parkin]] submitted an entry for the book which would have told the story of Mr [[Saldaamir]], a character who appeared in many Doctor Who novels written by Parkin. Miles removed this section from the final draft of the book, leaving only an apology sentence in the first pages of the book. | |||
