Elvis the King Spaceport has grown into the sprawling city-state of New Memphis - an urban jungle, where organised crime is rife. But the launch of the new Terminal 13 hasn't been as smooth as expected. And things are about to get worse... When the Doctor arrives, he finds the whole terminal locked down. The notorious Invisible Assassin is at work again, and the Judoon troopers sent to catch him will stop at nothing to complete their mission. With the assassin loose on the mean streets of New Memphis, the Doctor is forced into a strange alliance. Together with teenage private eye Nikki and a ruthless Judoon Commander, the Doctor soon discovers that things are even more complicated - and dangerous - than he first thought...

Thoughts

This audiobook was read by Nicholas Briggs who is the voice of the Judoon in the TV show so it’s really well done and entirely engaging. Plus add to that a great story about a failing travel terminal, private detectives running around trying to figure out what’s going on, and a good mystery to be uncovered. The Doctor is without a companion again but it’s a lot of fun following him on the journey with his Judoon friend, and the plucky young detective adds another fun layer. I enjoyed this one!
