This is the
11th book in the series of Torchwood novels and was published in 2009.
What an
incredible story. This is a book I just didn’t want to put down. Each chapter
was a different scene, different people, and a different terrible situation and
each page seeping blood, gore and fear!
Mark Morris
has captured the characters individual personalities perfectly. As you read the
story you can hear the characters voices in your head, or is that just me?
Until we are close to the end of the novel our heroes are separated, due to the
vast Zombie attack across Cardiff
It's a fast
paced story that is probably the most gruesome of all the Torchwood novels! And
nothing is as you may expect. You have plenty of that gun action, which some
fans seem to think didn't exist (just read some reviews for the series Miracle
Day) and the innuendo squad is hot on the tails of the Captains coat. He's as
naughty and dangerous as he is in the series. And Ianto, poor, poor Ianto and
his suits. You need to read to understand. As River Song would say...Spoilers!
Rhys is once again the 'unofficial’ member of Torchwood, as ever at Gwen's
side. He's heroic and lovely and swinging a nine iron.
And not only
has Mark so successfully caught each of the main characters personalities, but
he has also successfully captured the fear and tension in every word written.
As you read, you can feel people's fear and you genuinely feel for the
characters. Not just the team, but all the players of this frightening story,
such as Trys and Sarah, who is heavily pregnant. Toby, who is far away from
home and is just trying to fit in. Or Sophie who was out having a good time
with her mate Kirsty.
So a little
word to the wise...don't like blood and gore? Hate being frightened...don't
read this book! Otherwise read away. Oh and make sure you have a nine iron
handy...you may just need it!
