General Notes
- The Last Sontaran was published at the same time as the novelisations based on Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?, The Lost Boy and The Day of the Clown.
- The Last Sontaran is Gary Russell's third novelisation based on The Sarah Jane Adventures, after Warriors of Kudlak and The Lost Boy.
- The Last Sontaran is the last regular story to feature Maria Jackson and her parents. During the story, Alan Jackson receives a job offer which ultimately entails moving to the United States. The following story would see the introduction of Rani Chandra and her family, who move into the Jackson's old house on Bannerman Road.
The story also ties in with the season of Doctor Who transmitted earlier in 2008, as Commander Kaagh is a survivor of the Sontaran battle fleet which attempted to take control of the earth in the episodes The Sontaran Stratagem and The Poison Sky. The character would later re-appear in the season-ending story Enemy of the Bane.
