It is the first of two novels released to tie in with The Bionic Woman spinoff series; the other, also by Lottman, is entitled Extracurricular Activities. Lottman is one of several writers who attributes the name "Office of Strategic Intelligence" to the OSI, contradicting other meanings for the acronym given on television. The UK edition of this book is retitled Double Identity and is credited to "Maud Willis", one of Lottman's pseudonyms. Curiously, the British edition refers to Oscar Goldman as 'Oscar Gold', both in the text and cover blurb.
