Author, Writing and Publishing Notes

  • An image of the Tenth Doctor appears on the cover. This is the first time the Doctor has appeared on the cover of a spin-off series-based novel (and indeed is also the first time he has been featured as a major character in a spin-off book, too).
  • This is also the first time the Doctor has appeared in a novelisation since the revival of the parent series in 2005, which makes The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith the first novelisation of a televised Doctor Who story since the TV Movie was adapted in 1996 (although the last "regular-episode" novelisation was DWN: The Evil of the Daleks in 1993). A 2004 novelisation of WC: Scream of the Shalka was published as well, though it falls outside regular continuity.
  • It also marks the first appearance of the Tenth Doctor in a novel outside BBC Books line, as the Sarah Jane novelisations are published by Penguin Character Books.
  • Since the novelisations have skipped most of Series 2 and part of Series 3 (with future publications as yet unannounced), it's unclear whether this book is considered the 9th book in the series, although it is the ninth to be published.
