Notes

  • The trilogy of novelisations was announced on 14 July 2023.[1]
  • A BBC Books spokesperson told Doctor Who Magazine about the excitement of being able to publish ebooks so close to a television event such as the 2023 specials.[2]
  • The cover implicitly reveals one of the twists of the story, that there are duplicates of the Doctor and Donna.
  • The chapter titles also allude to the mystery of the unknown language. Each chapter is revealed to have been counting down from ten to zero, with the penultimate title translated into "one" because the Doctor and Donna finally figure out the captain's plan to self-destruct the ship to defeat the not-things.
