Elvis the King Spaceport has grown into the sprawling city-state of New Memphis - an urban jungle, where organized 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!

Another in the series of new Doctor Who books in which the Doctor is alone and traveling the universe finds him on the hunt for the Judoon. Police for hire that will capture thier target by any means. They are after someone called "The Invisiable Assasin" and the Judoon search has brought them to Elvis the King Spaceport and its latest spaceport. Top of the line and all of the new modern marvels. But people keep lossing thier luggage. The Mob is in control of everything and if they don't control it they destory it. Soon the Doctor finds himself on the hunt for what the Judoon are looking for and realize that in order to figure out what it is he has to work with them. A single commander of the Judoon grudglingy agrees to work with him but for a short time. If that doesn't work then its back to Judoon methods and the Doctor can't have that. Soon enough a young private eye on her own case bumos into the Doctor and the Judoon and realizes that both of thier cases are connected. Soon enough the local mob boss "Uncle" has caught wind of the Doctor and his freinds and his newest rival has as well. Can the Doctor and his new freinds surivie a mob war, find the assasin and figure out where in the world the TARDIS has been taken to? Just have to read to find out.

This was actually a gift for my wife ... the writing is about as terrible as one would expect, but any hard-core Doctor Who fan will likely get over that fact and enjoy seeing another glimpse into that universe.
