Torchwood – The Encyclopedia

Brian 20. September 2009 5

A book titled Torchwood – The Encyclopedia is coming out soon from author Gary Russell, who wrote several books on Doctor Who and was part of the script editing team for Torchwood. His new book is considered the ‘definitive guide’ of  Torchwood and it features an in-depth look at the televised series as well as the radio dramas.

Here’s a brief description of the book from Amazon.com:

Founded by Queen Victoria in 1879, the Torchwood Institute has been defending Great Britain from the alien hordes for 130 years. Though London’s Torchwood One was destroyed during the Battle of Canary Wharf, the small team at Torchwood Three have continued to monitor the space-time Rift that runs through Cardiff, saving the world and battling for the future of the human race. Now you can discover every fact and figure, explore every crack in time, and encounter every creature that Torchwood have dealt with. Included here are details of: The secret of the Children of Earth; Operatives from Alice Guppy to Gwen Cooper; Extraterrestrial visitors from Arcateenians to Weevils; The life and deaths of Captain Jack Harkness, and much more. Illustrated throughout with photos and artwork from all three series, this A-Z guide provides everything you need to know about Torchwood.

      It appears to be an update to include Children of Earth and the more recent radio dramas. Both books list 192 pages.
