 * According to the novel, [[Dalek Emperor (The Evil of the Daleks)|the Emperor]] was at one point the [[Dalek Prime]], marking its third appearance after [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Chase (novelisation)|The Chase]]'' and [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Mutation of Time (novelisation)|The Mutation of Time]]''. It is the same Dalek who exterminated [[Davros]] in [[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]''.
 * While all the Daleks on TV were silver, with black-domed variants acting as the [[Emperor's Personal Guard|Emperor's guards]], the novelisation describes the [[Dalek drone|standard Daleks]] as grey, although this may be due to the serial being in black and white. The Emperor's guards are also described as "almost entirely black", despite the black-domed Dalek seen on the cover, to better fit with the term of "[[Black Dalek]]s" used to describe them in the TV serial. Additionally, a [[Red Dalek]] takes command of the operations on Earth, acting as an emissary for the [[Dalek Council|Supreme Council]], making this the second time John Peel has inserted a Red Dalek into a novelisation, after ''The Mutation of Time''.
