Characters
References
- Drexxons are similar in appearance to monkeys.
- Vomit fruits are so disgusting, the mere thought of them can make a person throw up, leaving them so hungry that they could eat anything including a vomit fruit. The Doctor tends to avoid them after an "unfortunate incident" with the Queen Mother.
- Rory concludes that if the Doctor was trapped in a sticky situation and he didn't have his sonic screwdriver, he would take off his shoe and smash any controls with it.
Notes
- This novel was released in the 2 in 1 book range along with NSA: Heart of Stone by Trevor Baxendale.
