The Men Who Sold The World: The Men Who Sold The World is an original novel by Guy Adams. Released in August 2011 it is a prequel to Miracle Day and featuring Rex with fleeting appearances from Esther. Despite the fact that this took place before Rex and Esther joined Torchwood in Miracle Day, the Torchwood team are not exempt in appearing in The Men Who Sold The World with Jack, Gwen a
nd Ianto appearing briefly in a flashback that connects with the current events of this novel even though this was before Jack and Gwen ever met Rex and Esther.
The Men Who Sold The World makes good as a James Bond-like adventure with Rex being the Bond figure here. Quite enjoyable especially the sinister Mr Wynter and how Rex dealt with an intruder in his hotel room. While the book was overall enjoyable there is something disconcerting about it due to it having six Chapter 19s and the opening and closing segments which looked confusing on first reading and it took a second reading to understand these segments.

Singapore Sleeps: Singapore Sleeps is a Torchwood-Fringe crossover fanfiction: www.fanfiction.net/s/6790186/1/Singapore-SleepsThis has Fringe’s Walter Bishop contacting Torchwood’s Captain Jack about the file the former was looking for. Nice exchange between these two characters even though there was no one on one action with the two teams on the field.

Red Skies: Red Skies is post-Miracle Torchwood story released by AudioGo in May 2012. Written by Joseph Lidster and read by John Telfer. Telfer is an unusual choice of narrator as he is someone who was never in TV Torchwood but he delivers his narration of Red Skies superbly. In Red Skies, Jack takes a holiday on the planet Cotter Paluni’s World. In somewhat of a curious note I just looked up on TARDIS Wiki and this planet got a mentioned on television in Doctor Who: The Sontaran Stratagem by the Tenth Doctor as one of the places that he take Donna to. While Cotter Paluni’s World has never been seen on television I somehow do not get the sense that the Doctor took Donna to that world in an off-screen adventure otherwise notwithstanding any timey-wimey situations he would have dealt with the situation that Jack encountered in Red Skies. In Cotter Paluni’s World, Jack to his very surprise encounters a populace that praises a god called….Torchwood. Quite intriguing listening to Jack finding out why the god is called Torchwood and the visions of the deaths of people he knows. The revelation of who this god Torchwood is was finely done in this quite incredible enjoyable story.
