K. Hannaman said Skip it if you cab. This book is purely farce. Poor characterization and terrible continuity. Silly, if you like silly. I skipped over multiole oassages abd its more like two separate stories not one.. "Jhaeman's Reviews" according to Jeremy. SPOILERYThere's a couple of things that really set James Goss' Risk Assessment apart from other Torchwood novels.First, there's the introduction of a great new character, Agnes Havisham. Havisham is the Torchwood Assessor, the person responsible for overseeing all Torchwood operations around the world and with the power to close them down if they get out of line. However, Havisham is kept in a perpetual state of suspended animation and awakened only when computers sense a moment of great crisis--something that has only happened four times in the last century. The best thing about Havisham (a . GUSR19 said A Cracking Good yarn.. OK, this is an interesting book with two separate stories in it, with just a little overlap. I have to admit that the ending is a bit strange (I will not give it away) and needed to be continued in another book, but does not seem to be ???
The Torchwood Assessor is roused from her sleep in only the worst of times - it's happened just four times in the last 100 years. With thousands of alien bodies floating in the Bristol Channel, it's down to Torchwood to round them all up before a lethal plague breaks out. Agnes Haversham is awake, and Jack is worried (and not a little afraid). Can the situation really be so bad? Someone, somewhere, is fighting a war, and they're losing badly. The coffins of the dead are coming through the Rift. And now they'll have to do it by the book - the 1901 edition!
