*This was the second release in the BBC Books paperback-only Quick Reads series, and the first New Series-related work to be written by prolific ''Doctor Who'' novelist Dicks; Dicks also served a script editor for the series in the early 1970s and wrote numerous episodes in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, making this the first time a writer from the original series has been involved in a New Series-related product. The book marked Martha Jones' public debut as it was not only released prior to her debut in the standard hard cover book series, but also prior to her first television appearance in ''[[Smith and Jones]]''. | *This was the second release in the BBC Books paperback-only Quick Reads series, and the first New Series-related work to be written by prolific ''Doctor Who'' novelist Dicks; Dicks also served a script editor for the series in the early 1970s and wrote numerous episodes in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, making this the first time a writer from the original series has been involved in a New Series-related product.
