Writing and Publishing notes

 * The first chapter is a truncated version of the Doctor Who story False Prophets, although the version in this novel rewrites the story so it doesn't include the Doctor, Sally or Pete, and just includes Raleigh.
 * Each episode of the television series receives about 2 chapters in the book, but several of the plot points, within each episode have been reordered to suit the format.
 * Several of the chapter titles are taken directly from the episode titles, however, many have been added by Colgan herself.US Volta Novel Mockup.jpg
 * The US Edition of the Novel, published by Dell, featured a different cover design, using the promotional art from the TV Series.
