Many years ago Gwen Cooper joined Torchwood and was thrown into a world of terrifying danger. During one of her first missions, the team visited Bute Park and witnessed a secret Government organisation, 'Unit Five', attacking a burning alien, eventually code-named the 'Dark Dragon'. Just before escaping, the burning screaming humanoid turned several teenagers inside out. So Jack made a promise to Gwen - one day he would discover the truth about what happened that night. The Miracle ended a month ago and Captain Jack has returned to Cardiff Bay...to take command of his new Torchwood team on Flat Holm Island. Torchwood begins to investigate Unit Five, who are foolishly attempting to create a living link between a computer and Dark Dragon DNA. But something goes wrong, and the evil alien evolves, with terrible consequences for Captain Jack, Unit Five, Torchwood and the entire world.

The Doctor may have regenerated on many occasions, but so too has Doctor Who. Moving with the times, the show has evolved across fifty years...New Dimensions of Doctor Who explores contemporary developments in Doctor Who's music, design and representations of technology, as well as issues of showrunner authority and star authorship. Putting these new dimensions in context means thinking about changes in the TV industry such as the rise of branding and transmedia storytelling. Along with its faster narrative pace, and producer/fan interaction via Twitter, 'new Who' also has a new home at Roath Lock Studios, Cardiff Bay. Studying the 'Doctor Who Experience' in its Cardiff setting, and considering audience nostalgia alongside anniversary celebrations, this book explores how current Doctor Who relates to real-world spaces and times. New Directions of Doctor Who is the scholarly equivalent of a multi-Doctor story, bringing together the authors of Triumph of a Time Lord and TARDISbound, as well as the editors of Time and Relative Dissertations in Space, Impossible Worlds, Impossible Things, Torchwood Declassified and Doctor Who, The Eleventh Hour. It also features contributions from experts on TV brands, bioethics, transmedia and cultural icons. As 'new Who' creates ongoing mysteries and poses exciting questions, this collection demonstrates the vitality of Doctor Who studies.
