365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #135: Slow Decay (Torchwood)

Oh, how I miss watching Torchwood. Although it was a spinoff of Doctor Who, Torchwood was nothing like it. I plan on buying the complete series on DVD but until then I'll just buy the books. So far I've only read one book from the series, The Twilight Streets. It was really good.

The description for the Slow Decay seems very interesting with a vampire like creature preying on people. And it looks like Gwen may learn a lesson the hard way by using trying to alien technology to improving her relationship with Rhys. It will be interesting to see how that turns out.

Description:

When Torchwood track an energy surge to a Cardiff nightclub, the team finds the police are already at the scene. Five teenagers have died in a fight, and lying among the bodies is an extraterrestrial device. Next morning, they discover the corpse of a Weevil, its face and neck eaten away, seemingly by human teeth. And on the streets of Cardiff, an ordinary woman with an extraordinary hunger is attacking people and eating her victims.

The job of a lifetime it might be, but working for Torchwood is putting big strains on Gwen's relationship with Rhys. While she decides to spice up their love life with the help of alien technology, Rhys decides it's time to sort himself out -- better music, healthier food, lose some weight. Luckily, a friend has mentioned Doctor Scotus's weight-loss clinic...
