Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Big Finish has confirmed the forthcoming releases in the Torchwood audio range.

January’s Cadoc Point will find Andy Davidson (Tom Price) exploring the chequered past of his former art teacher, Merl Williams (Gareth Armstrong) after three students go missing.

Sonny, set to be released in February, follows Rhys Williams (Kai Owen) as he investigates artificially intelligent robot carers for the elderly.

And in April 2022, Infidel Places features the welcome return of Queen Victoria (Rowena Cooper) in an investigation that takes the monarch to the hallowed halls of Cambridge university.

Also due for release is The Black Knight, in which scientist Lynne Sharman (Safiyya Ingar) and Torchwood member Norton Folgate (Samuel Barnett) face a destructive asteroid. This March release is the replacement for Torchwood Monthly Range adventure #50, Absent Friends.

Cadoc Point, Sonny, The Black Knight and Infidel Places are now each available for pre-order at http://www.bigfinish.com.

Please note: Torchwood Monthly Range subscribers who pre-ordered bundles (#49-54 or #49-60) will automatically receive The Black Knight as part of their subscription without the need for further purchase.

Torchwood: Cadoc Point by David Llewellyn 

Andy’s old art teacher is in trouble. The disappearance of three of his former pupils has brought him some unwelcome attention. The authorities think that there’s a secret in Merl’s past.  Whatever Andy’s suspicions, he discovers that something much older and stranger is hiding in Merl’s past. Clues are scattered through his paintings, and all of them lead to a place called Cadoc Point.

Torchwood: Sonny by Lizzie Hopley 

Sonny is the answer to elderly care. Artificially intelligent robot carers placed in old peoples’ homes that mimic the behaviour of their owners. Only there are rumours that something is wrong with the Sonny units. That they’re too clever. That they are learning too much. Rhys sends his mother into a home to find out. But what will it cost him?

Torchwood: The Black Knight by Lizbeth Myles 

A brilliant scientist detects an asteroid destroying any craft entering the Earth’s orbit. Is it protecting the human race or imprisoning it?  Only one person believes her. That person is from Torchwood. Norton Folgate is taking Lynne Sharman on the journey of her life.

Torchwood: Infidel Places by Una McCormack 

With demons on the loose and dons bursting into flames, Queen Victoria visits Cambridge on the eve of a historic vote that could change the university forever.  She finds the city a den of suspicion and devil worship. A force from beyond reality is hunting down the university’s leading academics. Her Majesty enlists the help of a gifted young mathematician to save not just the university, but the universe itself.
