Book description
Tiger Bay, Cardiff, 1953. A mysterious crate is brought into the
docks on a Scandinavian cargo ship. Its destination: the Torchwood
Institute. As the crate is offloaded by a group of local dockers, it
explodes, killing all but one of them, a young Butetown lad called
Michael Bellini.
Fifty-five years later, a radioactive source somewhere inside the
Hub leads Torchwood to discover the same Michael Bellini, still young
and dressed in his 1950s clothes, cowering in the vaults. They soon
realise that each has encountered Michael before - as a child in
Osaka, as a junior doctor, as a young police constable, as a new
recruit to Torchwood One. But it's Jack who remembers him best of all.
Michael's involuntary time-travelling has something to do with a
radiation-charged relic held inside the crate. And the Men in Bowler
Hats are coming to get it back.
Featuring Captain Jack Harkness as played by John Barrowman, with
Gwen Cooper, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato and Ianto Jones as played by
Eve Myles, Burn Gorman, Naoki Mori and Gareth David-Lloyd, in the hit
sci-fi series created by Russell T Davies for BBC Television.
