* The cover for the original [[Target Books]] edition features the artwork of [[David McAllister]]. | |||
* The First Doctor appears on the cover of the original edition. This was unusual as at the time Target was generally no longer including the image of the Doctor on its novelisation covers; the last time was with ''[[Enlightenment (novelisation)|Enlightenment]]'' in 1984. It wouldn't happen again until a year later with ''[[The Ambassadors of Death (novelisation)|The Ambassadors of Death]]''. | |||
