Notes
- Has the distinction of being the first Doctor Who novel which is not based on a televised story, leading the way for the later Virgin New Adventures book series. It is also the first Doctor Who-related novel in which the Doctor does not actually play a role. It is not, however, the first original Doctor Who-related fiction to be published by Target Books. That distinction belongs to the novella Daleks: The Secret Invasion by Terry Nation, included in the 1979 release Terry Nation's Dalek Special. Other original short fiction had been published by other companies as early as the mid-1960s.
- This was also the first single Target Books release to exceed 200 pages in length -- and the only "original format" Target release (discounting the later bumper editions near the end of the line) to be published at such a length.
- Includes an introduction by Mark Strickson, the actor who played Turlough on television.
Continuity
- Turlough and the Earthlink Dilemma occurs after DW: Planet of Fire
