[edit] Notes

The novel attracted some controversy for its portrayal of an alternate, apparently homosexual, version of the Doctor.
The novel has been dramatised by Professor Piers Britton for a design class at the University of Redlands, California. The setting and some of the characters from the Obverse Universe featured in the book were re-used by Philip Purser-Hallard in his Doctor Who short story "Cabinet of Changes".
