* John Peel's author’s note at the beginning of this book states that it is “not strictly speaking an adaptation of the televised version of The Chase.” Instead the author choose to base the story on Terry Nation's original script (unearthed by Terry’s wife Kate) and included some of the rewritten material (presumably by then-story editor Dennis Spooner) used in the televised version. The ''Mary Celeste'' sequence was also changed using known facts about the incidents as sourced from ''Mystery Ship'' by George S. Bryan, and published by Lippincott in 1942. | * [[John Peel]]'s author’s note at the beginning of this book states that it is “not strictly speaking an adaptation of the televised version of The Chase.” Instead the author choose to base the story on Terry Nation's original script (unearthed by Terry’s wife Kate) and included some of the rewritten material (presumably by then-story editor Dennis Spooner) used in the televised version.
