[edit] Chelonians
This novel sees the first appearance of the Chelonians, a race of cybernetic humanoid tortoises who appeared subsequently in other spin-off novels. The Chelonians are war-like, hermaphroditic and lay eggs. They have cybernetic enhanments that include X-ray vison and improved hearing, but this advanced state of technology often causes them to consider human-beings as a form of parasite to be removed.
[edit] Continuity
- In this novel a fizzy drink called 'Bubbleshock' is mentioned, this drink next appears in the pilot of The Sarah Jane Adventures called Invasion of the Bane this addictive drink is the basis of most of the episode.
