Many fans consider it non-canon, but that is mostly due to the belief that the [[Rock Raider Characters|Rock Raiders]] are portrayed somewhat out of character. However, the book is really expanding upon them, as less information on them is in the other sources. Outside of a few minor inconsistencies, there is nothing in the games that proves it is non-canon.
The characters of the Rock Raiders are expanded on, however. Tiny back-stories are given on some characters, such as how Chief lost his arm. Personalities are grown on, such as Sparks' coffee addiction, or Axle's jokes.


This book contains several inconsistencies from other media. One of the biggest issues is the inside of the [[L.M.S. Explorer]]; The bridge is small, and everyone is strapped into chairs with control sticks. Even worse, the ship is called the ''H.M.S.. Explorer'' (though this may prove that '''L.M.S.''' is a pun on ''His/Her Majesties' Ship''). Sparks also never leaves the L.M.S. Explorer. On Planet U, [[Rockwhales]] look different than they do in the [[Rock Raiders PS1 Game|Playstation Game]], having lips and pupils. Slimy Slugs are also a neon-green color.
