** One paperback edition depicts the main characters fleeing into the Fringes fairly accurately.. but tosses in a few small bird-dinosaur hybrids.
** Another went with showing the Sealander rescue-ship flying over the deadlands.. except it's a flying saucer instead of a fish-shaped helicopter.

* ProjectileWebbing: The Sealanders' helicopter is equipped with a device that entraps enemies in web-like, sticky strands. However, unlike most examples of this trope, the webbing chokes those trapped in it to death- ''[[SinisterSuffocation slowly]]''.

* FreudianExcuse: We learn early in the novel that Joseph Strorm is very much like his father Elias, who was even more harsh and unyielding. Joseph may also have been influenced by the banishment of his older brother Gordon, who was originally thought to be normal but developed unusually long limbs as he grew up.

* DoubleStandard: As per the generally primitive attitude to biology, any woman who gives birth to three deformed or mutated children in a row may be 'sent away' by her husband... but apparently the husbands don't suffer any repercussions at all, instead being allowed to seek new wives.

This would have been a problem for Emily had Joseph not become an AssholeVictim — she would have been sent away by Joseph, but given that Joseph’s own brother is a mutant, it’s very possible that Joseph himself is the source of his children’s mutations through genetics.

* OnlySaneMan: Initially at least, the Inspector, who clearly isn't as fanatical as the community he's posted to. Unfortunately, he is not imaginative enough to question his orders, which leads him to apparently take part in ColdBloodedTorture of poor Katherine and Sally. David’s Uncle Axel might be a straighter version of this, since he’s more experienced with the outside world and thus has a much less bigoted attitude than even the Inspector, as well as being willing to question the mores of Waknuk and helping David hide his abilities for a long time.

* MisBlamed: An InUniverse example. After Anne’s husband, Alan, is found murdered Anne thinks that one of the other telepaths killed him since they were all opposed to her relationship with Alan, who was “normal” (and the one who exposed Sophie as a mutant). This is probably why she tries to expose the other telepaths when she [[DrivenToSuicide kills herself.]] [[spoiler: It was actually David’s uncle Axel who killed Alan.]]
