We’re heading to Cardiff for this month’s book club selection to listen to Sergeant Andy Davidson’s first encounter with Norton Folgate. Torchwood – Ghost Mission is the latest addition to the Big Finish Book Club. Plus we look ahead to Torchwood Series 6 – God Among Us 2.
First released back in May 2016, you can get Torchwood – Ghost Mission throughout this month at the bargain Big Finish Book Club price of just £2.99 on download.
Sergeant Andy Davidson has always wanted to join Torchwood. And now he finally gets his chance.
Under the strict observation of his Torchwood Assessor, Andy sets out to prove he's got what it takes. When a chemical spill turns out to have serious consequences, when monsters roam the Bay, and when an ancient entity awakes, Andy decides he could do with a helping hand. The problem is his Torchwood Assessor doesn't have any hands. Norton Folgate is a ghost.
To get Ghost Mission at the special BF Book Club price, head to www.bigfinish.com/offers/v/bookclub and enter access code STORIES.
Once purchased, why not head over and sign up for our new Facebook group, The Big Finish Book Club. We’ll be posting some talking points to kick things off, and then at the end of the month we will host a discussion session and have good (virtual) natter. We’re hoping to be able to involve some of our writers in future sessions, and you’ll able to post your questions for them about any plot points which have got you baffled. Just like a traditional book club but designed to involve our listeners all over the globe.
And that’s the news this week. Keep in the know by following us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
