Torchwood: Border Princes

Eve Myles reads this gripping story of an unbreakable secret, a terrible intruder, and an imminent apocalypse

The End of the World began on a Thursday night in October, just after eight in the evening.

The Amok is driving people out of their minds, turning them into zombies and causing riots in the streets. A solitary diner leaves a Cardiff restaurant, his mission to protect the Principal leading him to a secret base beneath a water tower. Everyone has a headache; there s something in Davey Morgan s shed; and the Church of St. Mary-in-the-Dust, demolished in 1840, has reappeared though it s not due till 2011. Torchwood seem to be out of their depth. What will all this mean for the romance between Torchwood s newest members?

Captain Jack Harkness has something more to worry about: an alarm, an early warning, given to mankind and held inert by Torchwood for 108 years. And now it s flashing. Something is coming. Or something is already here."
