* The cliffhanger to part | * The cliffhanger to part one has the Dalek crash through a wall before chasing the Doctor and Ace. In the televised story, it is just seen approaching towards them, and we do not hear or see a wall crash down. | ||
* The book contains far more detail on the [[Special Weapons Dalek]], also known (in the novelisation) as "the [[Abomination]]". In the book, its motives are explored in detail, from its inception and creation as the ultimate weapon, to the surprising fact that the firing of the weapon caused it to mutate, and become self-aware. As a result, it is closely monitored and even "feared" by other Daleks. | * The book contains far more detail on the [[Special Weapons Dalek]], also known (in the novelisation) as "the [[Abomination]]".

Three off screen campaigns are also mentioned when exploring more in-depth detail of the Special Weapons Dalek: [[Pa Jass-Gutrik]], the war of vengeance against the [[Movellan]]s, [[Pa Jaski-Thal]], the liquidation war against the [[Thal]]s, and [[Pas Jass-Vortan]], the time campaign — the war to end all wars. The Special Weapons Dalek fought in all these wars. | ||
* There are two | * There are two extracts from a (in-universe) book called ''[[The Children of Davros Volume XIX]]'', published in [[4065]]. These imply that Dalek politics are now influenced by various Dalek factions, after the events of this story. | ||

* | * The novelisation introduced a character called [[Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart (Remembrance of the Daleks)|Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart]], an ancestor of [[Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart|the character]] who later appears in the [[Virgin New Adventures]] novels. It also includes flashbacks to ancient [[Gallifrey]] which introduce "[[the Other]]", the mysterious third member of the [[Triumvirate]] with [[Rassilon]] and [[Omega]]. The Virgin novels would later change "the other" into "the Other" and hint at his connection to the Doctor. | ||
* The [[Renegade Dalek]] faction | * The [[Renegade Dalek]] faction make use of [[ECM]] ('''E'''lectronic '''C'''ounter-'''M'''easure) pods in their defensive positions. These devices lock onto the casings of any [[Imperial Dalek]]s who come into range and infiltrate their systems, sabotaging the life-support software so the [[Kaled mutant]] within drowns in its own nutrient fluid. | ||

This was reused for the Second Doctor in [[COMIC]]: ''[[Bringer of Darkness (comic story)|Bringer of Darkness]]''. | * The Daleks know the Doctor as [[Ka Farq Gatri]], enemy of the Daleks, bringer of darkness.

* The novelisation expands on Davros' origin, suggesting the [[Kaled High Council]] tried to convince him to commit suicide after the accident, since he was no longer genetically pure. Davros shot them down cold, realising that they were too "weak" to stick to their principles and kill him or even [[exile]] him, and that was the seed of the concept of the Daleks. This sequence was dramatised in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Davros (audio story)|Davros]]''. | * The novelisation expands on Davros' origin, suggesting the [[Kaled High Council]] tried to convince him to commit suicide after the accident, since he was no longer genetically pure.
