Product Description
Book Description
Excavations of the old Torchwood Institute are under way, but the body of Suzie Costello is nowhere to be found - a Torchwood: Miracle Day prequel
Product Description
Cardiff Bay. The government has ordered the excavation of the wreckage of a secret underground base. DCI Tom Cutler is watching from a distance, fascinated by the process. There are people in his dreams. People he feels he should know.
The disbanded Torchwood Institute spent a century accumulating non-terrestrial artefacts and catching aliens. Who knows what - or who - might still be intact down there. But by the time they find the first body, Suzie Costello is long gone.
Based on the hit series created by Russell T Davies, Long Time Dead is a prequel to Torchwood: Miracle Day, starring John Barrowman and Eve Myles as Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper. It features Suzie Costello, as played by Indira Varma.

I liked the first of the new trilogy of books a lot, but this one is seriously good. Bringing back characters who had a minor role- Suzie, DI Cutler, Andy etc is a stroke of genius- and ive always wanted to know what happened to the hub. Plus there are flashbacks to moments of suzie with the team (Ianto, Tosh and Owen) which really help her backstory, and help this settle into the canon better than i suspect the next book (which seems to be chiefly new american cast) will.
This fills in all sorts of gaps, and whats more its really well written, very engaging and satisfyingly gory! This is definately up there with "almost perfect" as the best torchwood book, and its one i suspect will get read again and again. Brill!

As this was my first Torchwood novel, I checked my expectations at the door when I sat down to read "Long Time Dead" by Sarah Pinborough. Set post-Season 3's "Children of Earth" but pre-Season 4's "Miracle Day", "Long Time Dead" starts with the excavation of the wreckage of the secret underground base that once belonged to a Government Agency that was now disbanded, and on the run from the people they once worked for. New characters are introduced, as well as old friends thought to be forgotten as Sarah spins a wonderful tale of intrigue, action and horror, with a touch of humour and an ending you don't see coming - everything you DO expect from a Torchwood episode on television. If you love a good mystery, and don't mind aliens or 'spooky do', then pick up a copy of "Long Time Dead". You won't regret it.

Yet another good read in the Torchwood series of novels. As appers to be the norm for this series of books, descriptions are at the front of creating the right atmosphere. Die hard purists may find that as Captain Jack Harkness has so little involvement, it may not be Torchwood. Although there is reference to the 'baddie' as being in the TV series, I can't place her, even though I watched all of the TV shows. For all that, well worth reading.

Complete failure to grab me.
I've enjoyed a few Torchwood books in the past but this one just didn't grab me. It took me days to read it because it didn't have that 'just one more chapter' or 'must read what... Read more
