Tom Price reads this exclusive audio adventure set after the conclusion of "Miracle Day", featuring Gwen Cooper and Sgt Andy Davidson. When Yasmin finds a jewelled egg in her grandfather's shed, her first thought is to sell it. Unfortunately, the object is no valuable Faberge antique, but a dangerous weapon from another planet. Worse still, the buyer she finds online is a Russian secret agent working for the Committee for Extraterrestrial Research, who promptly swipes it, kills her brother Sayed and lands her in hospital. When Sgt Andy Davidson realises that he's not dealing with an ordinary double shooting, he calls Gwen Cooper, who breaks the bad news about the egg and its deadly contents. With no Torchwood to help, and Gwen in America, it's up to Andy and Yasmin to follow the trail of the 'Shiva virus' - all the way from Cardiff to the British Museum...Written specially for AudioGO by David Llewellyn, "Fallout" is read by Tom Price, who played Sgt Andy Davidson in the hit BBC television series.

Another decent Torchwood audio CD primarily aimed at young adults - My teenage daughter quite enjoyed the story
13 Oct 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
This audio CD is read by Tom Price, the actor who plays Sgt. Andy Davidson. Andy worked with Gwen Cooper when she was a police officer, and he's had regular appearances in the Torchwood TV series. Andy had a significant role in Torchwood Season 4: Miracle Day, and the events of this audio book are set just afterwards, following on from the Torchwood audio CD `Army of One'. Capt. Jack and Rex aren't in `Fallout', and Gwen only appears via a telephone conversation, so this is Sgt. Davidson's investigation. It all begins when Yasmin finds a jewelled egg in her grandfather's shed, and her first thought is to sell it. But it appears the egg isn't a Faberge creation, and is in fact an artefact from another planet. Worse still, the buyer she finds for it online isn't what he seems either. Sgt Andy Davidson gets involved, but Gwen is in America and there's no longer any Torchwood to help out. So Andy and Yasmin have to start the investigation alone.
The box has one audio CD, run time 1 hour. I got this Torchwood CD for my 18 year old daughter, a massive Dr Who, Sarah Jane and Torchwood TV fan, although she's more into the the new Dr Who and Sarah Jane audio CDs (all read by Elisabeth Sladen). However she enjoyed listening to Torchwood: Fallout and rated it 3.5* (a high score for her) - I suppose these Torchwood Dr Who spin-off audio CDs are aimed towards teenagers/young adults, and they seem to hit the spot. She also liked the companion Sgt Andy Davidson audio CD 'Mr Invincible', and with run times of 1 hour she listens to them ripped to the iPod on long car journeys. Tom Price does a good job reading the books. While it's still uncertain if or when there will be a 5th TV season of Torchwood, at least the story continues on these audio books.

I would call this story more of a Torchwood spinoff rather than a fully fledged Torchwood story. That's not to say it isn't good. It is an enjoyable story but there is no Captain Jack and Gwen only appears briefly at the end of a phone call to her in America.
The story centres around Sgt Andy Davidson and involves the discovery of a "jewelled egg" which was released from the Torchwood vaults when the hub exploded and landed in a garden shed. This turns out to be a weapon from another planet designed to release a virus that will wipe out life on Earth. There are various people who are trying to get their hands on it for either good or evil intent and it is up to Andy and the person who found it, Yasmin, to ensure that it remains safe.
The story is fittingly narrated by Tom Price who plays Sgt Andy in the TV series. It is a narrated story rather than a full cast production as per earlier Torchwood CDs but I think that this suits it. Andy Davidson is usually a fairly minor character so it is nice for him to have his moment of glory at last.
If you are a fan of Torchwood, you will probably enjoy this CD. Just don't expect the full Torchwood experience.

Not the best Torchwood adventure, the best are the radio plays with all the sound effects and the voices of the characters. This is just an audio book and relatively short, only an hour long. Only one of the Torchwood characters: Gwen Cooper, features, but then at this point in the chronology of Torchwood she is the only one left. She, however, is only indirectly involved via telephone from America. The major lead is minor character Sergeant Andy Davidson, the hapless Cardiff policeman who was Gwen's link to the police force. When Andy realises that the shooting that he is dealing with in Cardiff has some very strange, distinctly alien, features, he calls Gwen who realises what the object at the heart of the matter is. Cue race to save the world. Though it is nice to see Andy come to the front, the whole was a bit flat.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audio drama. It's a single CD, so it's relatively short. It is branded as "Torchwood" but this is a tenuous link at best. It features Gwen's friend Andy, a Police Sergeant. Gwen herself makes only a brief appearance in a phone call made by Andy, despite her prominent appearance on the cover.
Like I said, I enjoyed it and I'm sure other Torchwood fans will too. Will be interesting to see what direction future stories take, whether they pick up the adventures of the remaining Torchwood members or concentrate on side stories like this one.

Set after Miracle Day I was initially worried as to what this might mean for our intrepid heroes. What it meant was we have a fairly standard Torchwood tale of aliens and artefacts set in both Wales and London but now centring on Sgt Andy Davidson (which is usefully read by Tom Price who plays the part).
The only nod to continuity is that Gwen pops up but is in the US so Andy is on his own to deal with Yasmin, her supposedly dead brother and a alien intent on capturing a device that would (for a change) mean the end of life on Earth.
The tale proceeds at a good pace, we end up not missing Gwen and Jack but instead get a resolution that fits Andy's character well. Their is action, some characterisation and we are still in a recognisably Torchwood universe though as we now have Andy as the lead character (and to be fair Rhys has been before) the definition of Torchwood is now getting rather stretched.
Tom Price does a good job reading it, it is a decent tale and usefully passed the time whilst I was driving somewhere and that really ticks most of the boxes it needs to!

Not bad as a story - but is it Torchwood?
I think I have to agree with some of the other reviewers who feel that stamping the Torchwood name on this is pushing it a bit.

Torchwood needs to up its game
I've been a fan of Torchwood since series 1. The latest serial, Miracle Day, was great in concept, but disappointing as filmed. This CD is similar. Read more
