Notes
- As with the main BBC New Series Adventures line, this novel continued the series of stories in which the Doctor travels without an ongoing companion. This was the first Quick Reads to not feature one of the regular companions.
- The novel also continued with the BBC Books main range theme for 2009 in featuring returning races and villains from the TV show, although all Quick Reads releases to date have featured past monsters anyway.
- This story features the Twelfth Sontaran Fleet.
- Although initially thought to be the final Tenth Doctor Quick Reads release, a further book was published in March 2010, entitled Code of the Krillitanes. It was published several months after David Tennant had left the series.
