Publisher's Summary
It's the start of a Cardiff autumn - the days are getting shorter, the dark evenings settling in. There's a part of Cardiff that no one goes to much. No crime, no murders, just they stay away. A collection of old rundown houses and gloomy streets. Something's not quite right there, something is off-kilter. Except now, the Council are renovating the area. And a new company have been employed to do this. And look: they're going to organise street parties to show off the gentrified area. Clown and face-painters for the kids, street magicians for the adults. None of this is Torchwood's problem. Except that Tosh recognises the man sponsoring the street parties when she's passing one day: Bilis Manger!
Characters
- Captain Jack Harkness
- Gwen Cooper
- Toshiko Sato
- Owen Harper
- Ianto Jones
- Bilis Manger
- Idris Hopper
- Rhys Williams
References
- Some past members of the Torchwood team are introduced in this novel, Dr Tilda Brennan, Llinos King, Greg Bishop and Rhydian, plus Eric Lawson, Torchwood's Head of Logistics from an alternate future.
Notes
- Alan Turing made a Rift Predictor for Torchwood Three called The Bronze Goddess.
Continuity
- The main story takes place between TW: Meat and TW: Reset, although the featured alternate timeline takes place after TW:Reset as Owen is dead.
- Toshiko Sato was responsible for The Toaster Incident, (TW:Exit Wounds) plus Tosh and UNIT "...are not mates". (TW:Fragments)
- An explanation is given that during the events of DW: Boom Town, Captain Jack confined the team to the Hub to stop them meeting his past self and contaminating his timeline.
- Rhys Williams and Gwen Cooper are making the final plans for their wedding. (TW: Something Borrowed)
- Idris Hopper, Margaret Blaine's secretary in DW: Boom Town is a major character in this novel.
- The phrase Turn Left (DW: Turn Left) is used frequently to describe the events leading to an alternate future.
- Charlie Gaskell's team is stated to have first discovered and used Torchwood's alien cryo-tech in 1906. (This would seem to contradict TW: Fragments in which Jack is frozen in 1901. Furthermore, Tosh states in TW: To the Last Man that Torchwood had been using the technology since "Victorian times" Perhaps Torchwood had rudimentary cryonic technology in the Victorian Era, but later upgraded to a more advanced system in 1906.)
