CREEPY. That’s what Ace thinks of clowns. But the Doctor insists on entering the talent contest at the Psychic Circus, the self-proclaimed Greatest Show in the Galaxy, on the planet Segonax. What has reduced Segonax to an arid wasteland? Why have the happy-go-lucky circus folk stayed here so long? And why are they no longer happy? Above all, what is the dreadful truth about the ‘talent contests’ run by the sinister Ringmaster and his robot clowns? The Doctor and Ace need all their death-defying skills in the big top to uncover a brooding, ancient evil that has broken the spirit of the Circus and demanded the sacrifice of so many lives. Sophie Aldred, who played Ace in Doctor Who, reads Stephen Wyatt’s complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1989. Science Fiction Time Travel Fiction Happiness

Critic reviews

Sophie Aldred’s vocal duties are first-rate with her naturally strong reading voice complemented by a wide range of voices for the different characters.
All stars
Most relevant
Sophie Aldred who played the sassy yet sweet Ace was a grand narrator. And also grand with different voices including her impression of the 7th Doctor and Captain Cook.
The circus theme got me.
Nice monster effects especially when Megs gave Captain Cook his karmic fall for his sins.
The Gods of Ragnarok got me. I suspect they members of the Pantheon as Sutekh, Maestro, the Toymaker, the Mara, and the Trickster.
I wish the Circus made more appearances.
A grand one.
