Torchwood Mr Invincible

Ross Chapman is one of life's losers. So when he survives a point-blank shooting, dons a superhero costume and becomes a crime-busting vigilante, something strange is clearly going on. And Ross's transformation isn't the only odd thing happening in Cardiff. Time is distorting - around the city, some people are aging, dying and decomposing in a matter of minutes, while others are reverting to childhood. Sgt Andy Davidson knows he's out of his depth - so when Jack Harkness sweeps into the police station, he's glad of the help that only Torchwood can provide. But for Jack, the stakes are higher than ever. He's seen a vision of Gwen, dead, murdered by an unknown gunman. And if he can't solve the mystery of Mr Invincible, he can't save her... Written specially for AudioGO by Mark Morris, Mr Invincible is read by Tom Price, who played Sgt Andy Davidson in the hit BBC television series.

Reviews

A rare book: a genuinely frank and self-revealing account of an actor's nightmare made real. Comic and even touching

—— Sir Richard Eyre

The tale is breathless... works up a gallop

—— Observer

Funny, readable and filled with proper gossip. Most importantly, it's a perceptive and tenacious look at what it was really like to be a girl among the blokes in that era

—— Alexandra Heminsley , The New Review, Independent on Sunday

Wener charts the story of her rise from suburban schoolgirl to 1990s pin-up with Indie group Sleeper. Her tone is warm, funny and self-deprecating - and she's not afraid to prick a few egos along the way

—— Daily Mirror

An amusing insight into the banality of band life, and a cautionary tale about the cost of getting what you always wanted

—— The Quietus

Teen love, bad haircuts, great music and laugh-out-loud memories

—— Fearne Cotton

(This week Sam has been) laughing, crying and over-identifying with Louise Wener's hilarious memoir, Different For Girls

—— Sam Baker - Editor of Red Magazine

Thoroughly entertaining

—— Record Collector
