The Doctor and the Judoon hunt an invisible assassin in Colin Brake's latest original Doctor Who novels from BBC Books. The brilliantly named 'Elvis the King Spaceport' has grown into the sprawling city-state of New Memphis - an urban jungle, where organized crime is rife. However, the launch of the new Terminal 13 hasn't gone as smoothly as hoped; cue the arrival of the Tenth Doctor; the Time Lord discovers that the new terminal has been locked down by the anti-social rhinoceros-headed Judoon, first seen in the TV episode 'Smith and Jones'. The notorious 'Invisible Assassin' is at work again, and the Judoon sent to catch him will stop at nothing to complete their mission. Together with new one-off companion, a teenage private-eye named Nikki, and the ruthless Judoon Commander, the Doctor discovers that things are even more complicated and dangerous than he first realised.

Colin Brake's second Tenth Doctor novel, after 2006's well received 'The Price of Paradise', is a scintillating action-packed thriller. Like 'The Slitheen Excursion' it features The Doctor travelling alone after the departure of his companion Donna at the end of the fourth series of the revamped TV show. Also like that novel, the Doctor picks up a temporary companion, the determined and feisty Nikki; the pair are well-matched, while The remorseless Judoon with their monosyllabic shouting and leather skirts are pretty one-dimensional; although Brake invests the Judoon Commander with some humanity and they do provide The Doctor with plenty of opportunities to display his tenth incarnation's trademark flippancy with serious and dark undertones.
Well plotted and paced, as you'd expect from a seasoned TV script-writer, Judgement of the Judoon is a thoroughly enjoyable and welcome addition to the current range of stand-alone books.

Fantastic!
One of the best i have read upto now, really gets going straight away, and with one of my fav villians, The Judoon. Great humour too. If i could give 10 stars, i would.
