Torchwood: Another Life

De: Peter Anghelides

Narrado por: John Barrowman

Thick black clouds are blotting out the skies over Cardiff. As twenty-four inches of rain fall in twenty-four hours, the city centre’s drainage system collapses. The capital’s homeless are being murdered, their mutilated bodies left lying in the soaked streets around the Blaidd Drwg nuclear facility. Tracked down by Torchwood, the killer calmly drops eight storeys to his death. But the killings don’t stop. Their investigations lead Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and Toshiko Sato to a monster in a bathroom, a mystery at an army base, and a hunt for stolen nuclear fuel rods. Meanwhile, Owen Harper goes missing from the Hub, when a game in Second Reality leads him to an old girlfriend... Something is coming, forcing its way through the Rift, straight into Cardiff Bay. Read by John Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack Harkness, this gripping adventure features Gwen Cooper, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato and Ianto Jones, as played by Eve Myles, Burn Gorman, Naoko Mori and Gareth David-Lloyd in the hit series from BBC Television. Contains adult themes and language.

Great read!

I loved that the main character actor was narrating. Owen, of course, was an idiot again - bringing an innocent into the fold without permission and obviously no real concern for her safety which got her killed. I felt the final chapter was rushed. Did the alien node disengage upon death or was it the destruction of the ship that destroyed them? I felt there were loose ends that should have been revealed and a solution provided.

John Barrowman is a vibrant reader throughout the narrative!

The story is a thriller chiller! The novel is everything fans of Torchwood expect - exciting drama, amazing space visitors and cool technology. Pure fun entertainment.

Fun Listen

If you like any of the Dr. Who or Kolchak or Outer Limits then this is a good show and a really good listen. The other 2 books are great listens as well.

A fun ride

John Barrowman does a great job. The story could be a real episode of Torchwood. I recommend this book if you are a fan of the show.

Torchwood: Another Life

Torchwood: Another Life, An original dramatization based on the hit BBC spin-off of the Doctor Who series is both delightful and gripping. A top notch science fiction / mystery story, worthy to be included in your collection. Very enjoyable story with quality sound, narrated by John Barrowman who plays Capt. Jack Harkness on the television show. I enjoy the TV series and this original tale continues the adventures of the Torchwood team as it protects earth from aliens and creatures from time and space. If you like Doctor Who and Men in Black, you will love this audio book.
