It was published simultaneously with the novelisations of ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen (novelisation)|Revenge of the Slitheen]]'', ''[[Eye of the Gorgon (novelisation)|Eye of the Gorgon]]'', and ''[[Warriors of Kudlak (novelisation)|Warriors of Kudlak]]'', and was thus tied with those three books as the first novelisation of a ''[[Doctor Who]]''-related television production since the 1996 release of ''[[The Novel of the Film (novelisation)|The Novel of the Film]]''.


This book adapts ''[[Invasion of the Bane]]'', the inaugural episode of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. It was published simultaneously with the novelisations of ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen (novelisation)|Revenge of the Slitheen]]'', ''[[Eye of the Gorgon (novelisation)|Eye of the Gorgon]]'' and ''[[Warriors of Kudlak (novelisation)|Warriors of Kudlak]]''. It was listed first as it is based upon the pilot episode.
With this book, ''Doctor Who'' script editor [[Terrance Dicks]] returned to the world of episode adaptations; it is his first television novelisation since his adaptation of ''[[The Space Pirates (novelisation)|The Space Pirates]]'' was published in 1990.

* Author Terrance Dicks worked as script editor for ''[[Doctor Who]]'' in the 1970s and wrote or co-wrote scripts for the series beginning in 1969. He is perhaps best known for writing the lion's share of [[Target novelisation]]s published between 1974 and the early 1990s. He has contributed to most lines of original ''Doctor Who'' fiction published since 1991. His last novelisation before this one was ''[[Shakedown]]'' in 1995, which was based upon a non-BBC spin-off production.
