Torchwood: First Born

By: James Goss

Narrated by: Clare Corbett, Kai Owen, Joe Jameson, Carole Boyd, Michael Stevens, Susie Riddell

A multi-voice reading of this gripping Torchwood adventure - a prequel to Torchwood: Miracle Day.

Gwen and Rhys are on the run. Rhys was hoping this meant a windswept cottage on a cliff top, but he’s had to settle for a miserable caravan in the isolated village of Rawbone. With the locals taking an unhealthy interest in their daughter, Gwen and Rhys start to realise that something is very wrong.

As they uncover the village’s terrible past, Gwen discovers that Torchwood will never leave her behind, and now she and Rhys stand alone in defence of the Earth. And the children of Rawbone can only bring her closer to the secret forces that want her out of the way.

Clare Corbett, Kai Owen, Katherine Fenton, Joe Jameson, Carole Boyd, Michael Stevens and Susie Riddell are the readers of this thrilling multi-voice narration. Based on the hit series created by Russell T. Davies, First Born is a prequel to Torchwood: Miracle Day, starring John Barrowman and Eve Myles as Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper, with Kai Owen as Rhys Williams.

Great plot!

True Torchwood 'grab and don't let go' story!! I like hearing the plot from each character's perspective and in their own voices. Helps to not miss the show so much 😊

Really worth your time

Kept our interest through the full story, well read, loved it! Loved that Reese and Gwen read this again.

wow! story needed a bit of polish but great! what

what a great non torchwood, Torchwood story... griping, had the obligatory homosexual couple, a Torchwood standard, (Hence minus one star) super readings by the actors, recommended!

Great for fans!

If you aren't already a fan of the tv series or books you won't understand this novel. It continues were the series lets off and I thought it was great as the series left me asking "What happens next?" Captain Jack only appears in dreams but the story actually works without him. Gwen and Reece are parents and will do anything to protect there little girl. The enemies of Torchwood are still out there and so are aliens. I like this book as it makes one look at who the "bad" guys are and what it is to be human. With laugh out loud bits as well as scarey bits this book follows the classic Torchwood example and will be a treat for all fans. English sci-fi at its best.
