Something in the Water

[ Mood: Cool ]
This is the first in the new set of three spin off novels from the Torchwood TV series. It is by Trevor Baxendale who has written a number of Doctor Who novels.

The team find themselves in mortal danger when a mysterious flu epidemic strikes South Wales. The cause is due to a water hag – an evil sprite that lives in stagnant water and preys on men. Typically the hag turns out be an alien bent on world domination.

It’s actually a good read and would have made an enjoyable episode of the series. The writer captures the essence of the characters without adding anything new to their development from the TV series. Set sometime before the end of series 2 – regular viewers will know what that means please don’t spoil the series for those who have not seen it yet!
