This book was good, the only thing letting it down was the
pointless pages of Owen playing in a reality online game that
bored the pants off me and seemed more like filler than anything
to do with plot line, just skip these pages if you’re not an
Owen fan.
The rest of the story and characters is a nice little read, the
1st
chapter is brilliant, and as they chase down the alien threat is
just thrilling, lots of chases and suicides kept me reading this
book, and it’s worth it at the end.
As I said, the Owen Online bits
let the book down, but can be skipped for the sake of the rest
of the story with Gwen, Ianto and Jack. Persevere, it’s worth it |

This
story starts off a little strange and had me totally confused,
why? Because they TW team were running around with a guy called
James who is part of the team, but it all works it’s self out in
the end :P
This isn’t my favourite
book in the series, but again, it’s still worth reading.
Also, when I was
watching season 2 of TW, the episode called ‘Adam’ had me
remembering this book, the idea is the same, if not the plot. |

Eek!
This book sent shivers down my spine. Being a bit *cough* on the
podgy side myself, I don’t think I will ever look at diet pills
the same again!
The plot is practically
the parent of ‘Reset – TW series 2’ & ‘Partners in Crime – DW
series 4’. Only there aren’t any cute Adipose babies,
just nasty aliens :P
This is the most accomplished book in
series 1, and I really enjoyed it, after all, when something
scares weevles you know it’s gotta be good ^_^ |

Once you read this, you will never have a saw
throat again without getting a chill down your spine ^_^
I was pleasantly
surprised reading this book because it’s Owen heavy, and I’m not
his greatest fan, but this was a great read.
There is one bit in the
autopsy room that had me squealing as I read it, so wonderfully
graphically chilling, along with something in an old fish farm
that had me glued to the pages :P
Not the most exiting in the
series of books, but still worth reading! |

Really loved this one! But if you have seen the whole of ‘TW
Season 2’ then you have to put your tong in your cheek and read
it like a really posh fanfiction, and an enjoyable one at that.
It start’s off a little
confusing, and some of the character’s histories skip off the
series cannon, but I couldn’t say I minded all that much because
the story it’s self was so well written. It might take some
perseverance to get into the story if you’re reading it
casually, but just hang in for the part where Jack enters with
his own story concerning the strange Michael.
This book actually made
me cry at points and have such empathy for Michael as his story
twists and turns though the whole thing pulling you in more.
My only complaint for
this book is that it just isn’t long enough >_< |

OMG!
Totally fantastic, enjoyed ever second I read this book!
Of all the books, this
is the one that made me feel like it could be a TW episode,
infact it would be quite fun to see.
Jack / Ianto fans will
also love this ^_~
This one has more
subtle references to season 2 of the TV series, and lots from
series 1 with Bilis Manger (from the last 2 episodes of season
1, ‘Captain Jack Harkness’ & ‘End of Days’). The author has
really done his homework for this one, capturing all the
character, setting and the general feel of a good TW plot line,
also a little insight into season 2 makes it a blessing to read
because they are all totally spot on.
It finally explains
what Abaddon was and why Bilis did what he did.
The back blub of the
book gives nothing away at to the true story hidden in these
pages (unlike the others)…
As for recommendations…
this is the best of all six. But I’m happy I read the other
books fist, I like saving the best till last!
Go get, go read, go
enjoy totally ^_^ |
