Red Skies was the ninth release of the BBC Torchwood audio stories.

Publisher's summary

Jack Harkness is in need of a holiday. He wants to get away from Torchwood, away from the human race — and where better to get completely away from it all than Cotter Paluni's World, a planet surrounded by deadly scarlet lightning and cut off from the entire universe?

But there are some shocks in store for Jack: the "Devil's World" might be completely isolated and inaccessible, but its inhabitants worship Torchwood. And before he can find out why, or how this is even possible, he finds himself arrested for murder.

It looks as if someone on the planet knows who Jack is — and they're out to get him...

Plot

Wanting to get away from Earth, Jack uses his vortex manipulator to travel from a Universal Heritage spacecraft to the surface of Cotter Paluni's World, a planet subject to storms of unexplained red lightning. He learns from Heather, a barmaid, that her people worship Torchwood and is arrested by Detective Torsten Højer for her murder after she is hit by the lightning and burns to death, but he persuades Torsten to release him and bring down Torchwood. This results in Jack being hit by lightning and having a vision of Alex Hopkins's suicide in the Hub.
