I understand that this is set Series One, before we had a really serious relationship going on the series, but I still would've liked to have had Jack somehow notified in the police station and going ballistic because he couldn't find out just how badly Ianto was hurt, much less get to his side. So what that means is, no real Ianto/Jack moment, other than a visit at the very end by the team to Ianto in the hospital and a soft kiss on the forehead. Okay, that's the basic storyline and I truly enjoyed listening to this double set of CDs, so why are we missing 10% of satisfaction? The whole Ianto chase and injury scene was brilliant, but Jack doesn't find out until he's released from custody. Snooping about, Gwen and Owen gather more clues and pieces of the puzzle, but it actually comes down to the technical and scientific knowledge of Tosh before they discover what actually happened and how to save Jack from prison. Meanwhile, Ianto discovers more murder victims and is himself almost killed during a horrendous car chase that ends with him badly injured. Jack is actually being held by Cardiff police on suspicion of murder, but finally gets a few moments to call Tosh and drop a clue or two in her ear. As Gwen, Ianto, Owen, and Tosh try to find their missing Captain while working on why the deaths had Jack concerned, they find themselves delving into the far past and a long-dead alchemist. ![]() Read by the lovely and talented Naoko Mori (aka Toshiko Sato), this is a marvelous adventure story, set during Series One, that rates as 90% satisfying in my mind.Ī series of mysterious deaths have Captain Jack Harkness tearing out of the Hub without letting the others know where he is going to, then can't be found anywhere by the rest of his worried team as more deaths appear.
