Extras[]
This volume has four pages of extras, providing a fairly extensive cast list with capsule descriptions of the characters along with definitions of some terms used in the story, at the beginning of the book.

The previous volumes (The First Journey of Agatha Heterodyne, books 1–13) did each include a summary of "The Story So Far" and a humorous capsule biography of the professors, which this volume omits.
