The Master states "The Valeyard, Doctor, is your ''penultimate re[[incarnation]]''...

Somewhere between your [[The End of Time (TV story)|twelfth]] and [[The Time of the Doctor|thirteenth]] ''[[regeneration]]''". In the televised show, the line is: "The Valeyard is an amalgamation of the darker sides of your nature, somewhere between your [[Eleventh Doctor|twelfth]] and [[Twelfth Doctor|final]] ''incarnation''." Since, in the novel, the Valeyard is an actual Doctor incarnation (like the [[Sixth Doctor]]), and not a "dark side" of the Doctor (like the [[Dream Lord]] or the actual Valeyard), it's unclear as to what he could possibly gain from killing the Doctor and taking all his regenerations without causing a paradox. | ||
* Glitz initially mistakes the Valeyard for the Doctor's brother, noting that they possess similar facial features. | |||
* The Inqusitor's place at the trial is noted to be part of her ambitious career. To preside over such an important inquiry would earn her a seat on the High Council, but the unusual nature of the Master's interference has jeopardised those prospects. | |||
* The Court is permitted to watch the Doctor's first entry to the Matrix unfurl as they had with the events on [[Ravolox]], [[Thoros Beta]] and aboard the ''[[Hyperion III]]''. | |||
* Maintainance of the Matrix is delegated to the Elzevirs, inhabitants of Leptonica in the constellation of Daedalus. Specialists in delicate micro-technology, the supervisor of the supercomputer repair team, Nilex, was hypnotised by the Master who used the opportunity to make a duplicate Key of Rassilon. | |||
* The novelisation features an epilogue aboard the TARDIS between the Doctor and Mel. Despite her eagerness to travel with him, he points out to her that she must be returned to where she was abducted in order to maintain the continuity of time. Mel departs to the surface of Oxyveguramosa, where she reunites with her Sixth Doctor. The story goes on to state that the Doctor would experience a series of adventures that would culminate in a confrontation with the Rani. | |||
