But something has gone terribly wrong and Toshiko must organise a funeral for Torchwood’s best in The Vigil, out now.

Sebastian Vaughan is the brightest, newest recruit to Torchwood. He’s come from a very good family, an excellent school, and with a degree from the finest college. He’s the kind of person bred for Torchwood.

Sebastian Vaughan is exactly the person Torchwood needs. He’s charming, he’s smart, and he’s good in a fight. He’s taken Torchwood’s other new recruit under his wing. With his help, Toshiko Sato will make something of herself and fit in at Torchwood.

Sebastian Vaughan is dead. Toshiko Sato’s been given permission to bring his body home to give him the send-off he deserves. How will Torchwood cope without him?

Writer of this story, Lou Morgan, told us more, “I absolutely loved writing this story and being able to see it brought to life in the studio - not least because Tosh is such a fantastic and layered character. We all know how she came to join the Torchwood team, but by going right back to those early days and partnering her with another new recruit (who is everything she isn't) we get a chance to see what really drives her, as well as what it takes to be part of Torchwood... and what it costs.”

Coming next in the Torchwood Monthly Range, Smashed sees Gwen Cooper drinking for Queen and Country in a gruelling night to remember…

Glynteg was never much of a place. Since the refinery’s shut down there’s been nothing much going on – no jobs, no money, more pubs than buses. One of those sad Welsh towns where’s there’s little to do but drink.

Then the frakking company came and there was a brief spark of hope – maybe there’d be some jobs, at least. But that fizzled out. Instead the people started falling ill.

Gwen Cooper’s come to Glynteg to find out what’s happening. Something ancient has woken up beneath the ground and will do whatever it can to protect itself. The Hunters have been unleashed. And there’s only one way to stay safe.

Also out for release later this month, Torchwood One continues to save the world – and more importantly, the Empire – from alien threats in Latter Days.
