Synopsis

The End of the World began on a Thursday night in October, just after eight in the evening... The Amok is driving people out of their minds, turning them into zombies and causing riots in the streets. A solitary diner leaves a Cardiff restaurant, his mission to protect the Principal leading him to a secret base beneath a water tower. Everyone has a headache; there's something in Davey Morgan's shed; and the Church of St Mary-in-the-Dust, demolished in 1840, has reappeared - though it's not due till 2011. Torchwood seem to be out of their depth. What will all this mean for the romance between Torchwood's newest members? Captain Jack Harkness has something more to worry about: an alarm, an early warning, given to mankind and held - inert - by Torchwood for 108 years. And now it's flashing. Something is coming. Or something is already here. Read by Eve Myles, who plays Gwen Cooper, this thrilling adventure features Captain Jack Harkness, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato and Ianto Jones, as played by John Barrowman, Burn Gorman, Naoko Mori and Gareth David-Lloyd in the hit series from BBC Television. Contains adult themes and language.

Goodreads review by Shelley on June 04, 2007

I'll be honest - I don't ask for much from the Torchwood books. A plot that can at least stick together while I'm reading and recognizable characters. Snark is good, funny one-liners are great, ribald comments from Jack a must. But seriously. It is not a good thing to have your reader wondering throu......more

Nearly the whole book I’m like, who is James? wHo iS JaMeS? Then when he twisted the gun and I started to figure it out. I knew he wasn’t really a team member. It was a great book though. A good way of tying several different perspectives and stories into one.......more

Goodreads review by Fraeulein K on December 18, 2019

As I have already read most of the Torchwood books I would rate this as the least good one (it’s probably the worst). The novel‘s plot does not really develop and it‘s like there are two stories following each other. And it‘s not thrilling like the other Torchwood books, it‘s obvious, miserably told......more

During a very busy week, Torchwood discovers an artifact that was given to an earlier Torchwood as an early warning system is starting to count down. What of the many things going on is the 'Big One' that the artifact is warning them about? Good read, with lots of clever bits, good characterization an......more
