Now the Council is renovating the district, and a new company is overseeing the work. There will be street parties and events to show off the newly gentrified neighbourhood: clowns and face-painters for Torchwood: The Twilight Streets kids, magicians for the adults - the street entertainers of Cardiff, out in force. None of this is Torchwood: The Twilight Streets problem. Until Toshiko recognises the sponsor of the street parties: Bilis Manger. Now there is something for Torchwood to investigate. But Captain Jack Harkness has never been able to get into the area; it makes him physically ill to go near it. Without Jack's help, Torchwood must face the darker side of urban Cardiff alone An archaeological dig in unearths relics of another time And - as the Doctor, Amy and Rory realise - another place. Another planet. But if Enola Porter, noted adventuress, has really found evidence of an alien civilisation, how come she isn't famous? Why has Rory never heard of her?

As with much of Torchwood EU, I have conflicting feelings about this book. On the one hand, it has some great individual scenes, zippy one-liners, and the return of Idris Hopper a minor Doctor Who character who was originally slated to fill the position later occupied by Ianto Jones. On the other, the characterizations are uneven and in the case of Jack, bordering on disturbingand the plot is confusing. Though parts of the book are enjoyable, it's somehow unsatisfying as a whole. The plot is convoluted and a bit difficult to follow. Series 1 antagonist Bilis Manger returns--I'll confess, he wasn't my favorite villain--and absconds with members of Torchwood 3, and there is another Big Threat coming from the rift. There's some flashy-but-not-really-relevant drama involving clowns, and some general techno-magic handwaving about the resolution we did a Science Thing! This is peppered with interesting character moments throughout, as members of the team see themselves enacting potential future scenarios. But I can forgive the weak conflict; after all, the TV series was notorious for those, and let's be honest--nobody reads Torchwood for the plot. It's not science fiction; it's a character-driven fantasy series with aliens, and the characters are what we really came for, right? This brings me to my biggest gripe with this book: What the heck is going on with Jack? In spite of substantial character growth both in the TV series and in previous novel installmentshe has somehow reverted to being the self-absorbed jerk he was early in the series. Even though he and Ianto are Torchwood: The Twilight Streets to be pursuing a more romantic relationship by this point, Jack taunts Ianto, lies to him, blows him off, and is generally rude. Contrast this with the previous book in the series, Trace Memory, in which Jack is sensitive to Ianto's hurt feelings when one of Jack's previous lovers shows up, and they end up talking through it and holding hands. When Jack encounters Idris Hopper, it is revealed [very minor spoiler, but tagged for safety] view spoiler [that in the past, Jack tried to Retcon Idris and then take him home --which is basically drug-assisted rape at that point. Idris Hopper is one of the high points of this book, though I don't think he was utilized to his full Torchwood: The Twilight Streets. Supposedly, the character was originally meant to return in Torchwoodbut was replaced during series Torchwood: The Twilight Streets with the character of Ianto Jones. This background Torchwood: The Twilight Streets makes for some fun moments when Idris and Ianto are compared by other characters, or Torchwood: The Twilight Streets they face off in person usually being catty over Jack, because that's as deep as this book goes, though I would have loved to see them have a real sass contest. Idris is refreshing because he's one person Jack's charm doesn't work on, and while Torchwood: The Twilight Streets not as snarky as Torchwood: The Twilight Streets or Torchwood Big Finish audio character Norton Folgate, he has the potential to be another source of dry wit under stress. Something for the writers of future installments to think about, perhaps? In summary, the book has good moments, and some pithy and quotable lines, but overall it's not one of the best plots in the series. It's not a good jumping-on point, but Torchwood fans who are completists will want to check it out. Just realize that you may not like Jack much in this installment.

There are moments that made me want to scream, but since this is basically an all Jack story, I think it deserves a higher rating from me. For those who have watched Torchwoodthey know Billis Manger very well. It is one of the most enigmatic enemies they have. The whole story revolves around a part of Cardiff that nobody can do anything about. Every time someone tries to do something about it, nothing happens. Every time people try to live there, something drives them away. It is not surprising then that there are a lot of ghost stories connected to Tretarri. Even Jack isn't immune to it. While people can at least try to live, make it better or whatever they tried to do there, Jack can't can't even enter. I loved Torchwood: The Twilight Streets idea for the story. Torchwood fans won't be surprised by Billis Manger's ability to Torchwood: The Twilight Streets a future to Jack's team. The events from End of Days are mentioned too. The events here show exactly the kind of people Jack works with. I know that some might argue that all that was imaginary or that they were out of character I disagreebut most of the actions were exactly the things those people would do given enough chance. Jack's team is the most incompetent group of petty, insecure and jealous individuals I've seen. Only Ianto is worthy to be anywhere near Jack. And Rhys too, but he isn't a team member. It doesn't matter whether the events are true or not, this is exactly what would happen. Nov 25, Iamshadow rated it did not like it Shelves: fictionfantasy-sci-fiqueer. Absolute rubbish. The characters managed to be both flat and unrecognisable, while Torchwood: The Twilight Streets author got carried away with a fanciful and ridiculous plot that frequently confused and annoyed me. Don't waste your time. There are fan fiction authors out there writing far, far better stories. View all 4 comments. Sep 24, Nathalie rated it it was amazing Shelves: i-own-this-book. By far my favourite as of now! Loved the team's dynamics, the friendly banter as we see it in the series and especially the Jack-Ianto-scenes ugh. Oh and Bilis Manger, of course. That'd quite a way to make a villain something that's not quite evil and not good either. Jus loved it! Oct 08, Kiri rated it did not like it. Not impressed. I've Torchwood: The Twilight Streets the Doctor Who novels more than this, my first Torchwood novel. The quality of the writing leaves a lot to be desired - not very sophisticated. Much like a Doctor Who novel with a lot of references to sex added. Other Torchwood: The Twilight Streets the audio books and Torchwood: The Twilight Streets plays there are no actors who can make Torchwood: The Twilight Streets stupid dialogue sound good or at least tolerable. Nov 22, Eline rated it it was ok. I've already shared most of my thoughts with a friend, but basically this wasn't really the story for me. I couldn't properly get into it and I felt lost a lot of the time. The Twilight Streets (Torchwood, #6) by Gary Russell
