Torchwood: Exodus Code

Daniel Pirrie reads this thrilling novel by John and Carole Barrowman - complete and unabridged.

The narrative builds to an action-packed finale... Daniel Pirrie... tackles a range of accents with great skill, and does a decent impersonation of Captain Jack himself.

John Barrowman became Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who in May 2005 and has appeared in eleven episodes of the hit show, before taking the lead role in Torchwood. As well as taking starring roles on the stage and on television, John has collaborated with his sister Carole on two volumes of autobiography, a comicstrip adventure in the official Torchwood magazine, and a fantasy novel for children, The Hollow Earth. 
 
Carole E. Barrowman is Professor of English and Director of Creative Studies in Writing at Alverno College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She writes a regular newspaper column on crime fiction and, in addition to her writing collaborations with brother John, Carole has published a number of essays and contributed a chapter to the Hugo award-winning non-fiction anthology Chicks Dig Time Lords.

It starts with a series of unexplained events. Earth tremors across the globe. Women being driven insane by their heightened and scrambled senses. And the world is starting to notice - the number one Twitter trend is #realfemmefatales. Governments and scientists are bewildered and silent. The world needs Torchwood, but there's not much of Torchwood left. Captain Jack Harkness has tracked the problem to its source: a village in Peru, where he's uncovered evidence of alien involvement. In Cardiff, Gwen Cooper has discovered something alien and somehow connected to Jack. If the world is to be restored, she has to warn him - but she's quickly becoming a victim of the madness, too... From Torchwood star John Barrowman, and Carole Barrowman, this is an epic thriller that finds Captain Jack and Gwen in a race to save humanity itself. Read by Daniel Pirrie (Doctor Who, Downton Abbey).
