Judgement of the Judoon was the thirty-first novel in the BBC New Series Adventures series. It was written by Colin Brake and featured the Tenth Doctor.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

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...

The title uses the British spelling, Judgement.
This novel marks the first in a series of books (presumably set post-Journey's End) to feature the return of monsters previously seen in the TV series. In this case it is the Judoon, and subsequent novels featured villains such as the Slitheen, Daleks, Sontarans, Krillitanes and Autons.
This story was also released as an ebook available from the Amazon Kindle store.

Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor previously encountered the Judoon in his fourth, (COMIC: A Rare Gem) sixth, (AUDIO: Judoon in Chains) eighth, (AUDIO: Patience) ninth, (COMIC: Slaver's Song) and current incarnations. (TV: Smith and Jones, The Stolen Earth', AUDIO: One Mile Down, PROSE: Revenge of the Judoon, COMIC: In-Flight Entertainment, The Baktek Illusion) He would later encounter the Judoon in his thirteenth incarnation (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon, The Timeless Children).

v • e Judoon stories

For the purposes of this list, a "Judoon story" is one in which one living, authentic Judoon plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Timeless Children are absent due to the Judoons' only contribution being references to past Judoon stories. Stories like The End of Time, The Pandorica Opens and A Good Man Goes to War are also not included due to the Judoons' cameos being of no consequence to the plot of the story.
