Torchwood: Bay of the Dead by Mark Morris
3.0
This is a Torchwood book, set after we have lost Tosh and Owen, but before Children of Earth.
Cardiff is surrounded by a mysterious fog that prevents people from passing through it to either side. Then the attacks begin. There are zombies in Cardiff. Yeah, zombies. Seriously, those dead creatures who have an appetite for eating flesh.
The story isn't as bad as you might expect. The team is separated, with Gwen and Rhys trying to make their way to safety, but instead finding themselves cut off from the police and the Hub. PC Andy and his new partner are under attack, plus Andy may have found a new girlfriend. His timing really could have been better. Ianto and Jack work on putting two and two together to find the source of the zombies.
There are a few good moments in this story. Morris has a deft hand with both Rhys and Andy, which I love. Plus we see Ianto with a baby and Rhys as a hero. Some minor Jack/Ianto moments are within, but nothing strong. Overall, not a bad read. Even with zombies!
