- Non-genre? This one of the early Dr. Palfrey novels may be in the database because the mission is saving scientists--the lost legion, imprisoned in Nazi Europe. In many later volumes it is saving the world from mad scientists.
- Revised and abridged by the author, 1965 -- as Arrow Books #852, {{OCLC|18093447}} -- followed in the 1974 Walker ed., copyright implies, {{LCCN|74080973}}
- Probably this was the first Dr. Palfrey story published in the US. The first two are not found in automated search of US newspapers 1942 to 1944 (but found in UK newspapers), and WorldCat reports no early edition except that from John Long. Some WorldCat records do report Long as a "London, New York" publisher.
