'''''The Ghosts of N-Space''''' was the seventh novel in the [[Virgin Missing Adventures]] series. It was written by [[Barry Letts]]. It featured the [[Third Doctor]], [[Sarah Jane Smith]] and Brigadier [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. This was the first of two novelisations to be published under the Virgin Missing Adventures brand (the second was ''[[Downtime (novelisation)|Downtime]]''). This is also the only novelisation in the Missing Adventures range based on an audio story: the original version of ''[[The Ghosts of N-Space (audio story)|The Ghosts of N-Space]]'' was produced for radio by the BBC.

:"When the barrier gives way this planet will be flooded by all the evil in [[Null-Space|N-Space]]. And, at the moment, I have no idea how to stop it."

[[Sarah Jane Smith]], on holiday with her chum [[Jeremy Fitzoliver|Jeremy]] and a bad case of writer's block, is amazed to find [[the Brigadier]] in the same part of [[Italy]]. He is there to help a distant relative whose tiny island home has been threatened by [[America]]n mobster [[Maximilian Vilmius|Max Vilmio]].  

When the [[ghost]]s that haunt the island's crumbling castle are joined by less benign spectres, the Brigadier summons [[Third Doctor|the Doctor]] — who discovers that the whole of mankind is threatened by the plans of the ruthless Vilmio and his mysterious, hooded henchman.
