Audiobook
Torchwood Ex Machina
Written by Alfie Shaw
Starring Gareth David-Lloyd
I should have known by the price LOL. This audiobook is darn short. That is about the only gripe I have. Torchwood has always been a favorite TV show of mine. I hated when it ended. It’s a great spin off from Doctor Who.
In this audio drama, Ianto Jones takes the lead as he is the only person of Torchwood. The streets are empty, something big has happened. One day, a survivor runs into his city tour (cover shop for Torchwood), she knows his name and she knows of the secret Torchwood site.
This story is brilliant. There’s a creature, a darkness, that is in love with the girl. Every time Abigail Forehill is distressed, he takes care of the problem so that she feels only peace. There are many of these alien blobs scattered through out the city. I’m unsure if they all love people or if most are just soldiers here to conquer the Earth. Either way, there are only a few people left and they seem intent on killing Ianto and the Abigail.
Both of these characters seem to be alone but they notice gaps in their memory, for Abigail it’s her family. Every family photo shows only her. For Ianta, he knows he should be working with a full team in Torchwood but he doesn’t remember them. Not really. Not clearly. Same as Abigail Forehill, a very troubled young woman with many flaws but she is smart as well.
Buy this, for a quick listen. It’s fun, exciting and (if you like Torchwood) has a brilliant ending.
