* This title was prepared for publication before [[Ian Marter]]’s death on 7th July 1987.
* Author Ian Marter died in October 1986, nearly a year before the initial hardcover publication of ''The Rescue''. It was the last of several novelisations that Marter had completed before his death to be published.
* "Editor’s Note: Shortly after completing work on The Rescue [[Ian Marter]] died. It was a great loss to his publishers and to the world of Doctor Who as a whole. Ian loved his work on Who both as an actor and a writer of many of the novelisations of the TV shows. He especially enjoyed and appreciated the interest fans showed in his work. And in his absence, it’s to all his fans that I’d like to dedicate this, his last book. NR"
