Not the best, but certainly not the worst. It's good to have so much Tosh and Owen in a book, but I think the rehashing of Owen's "particular situation" was a bit much. If you've seen the show, you know what's happened. If you haven't, it only takes once to get it. It felt like filler. Some nice lines of dialogue for Ianto, the Jack and Gwen bits were in-character as well. Mostly, I'm glad to have a book that centers on Tosh and Owen. (

Probably the best written of the Torchwood books, with lots of references to Doctor Who and a well written storyline. (
