Torchwood books help wanted

[julesjones]

Sometime in the last week I've read something about one of the Torchwood books including a bit about Ianto's first week at Torchwood 1, working with the archivist. And now that I'm doing a book order I can't remember which one. agentxpdble, I know you've read a couple of them recently...

ETA: It's Trace Memory. Suggested by phoenix_born, confirmed with a bit of googling which turned up a good review.

Yeah, you got it. I really liked it - All three of the new books were really good and far more in keeping with show canon than the first three from last year.

I actually went ahead and ordered the lot, since Play are doing them in the 3 for twelve quid sale. But it's still useful to know which one to read first to get that bit of backstory.

Be sure to read Twilight Streets next - there's some *great* Ianto crack in it. :)))

Actually, if you know you are going to read all three anyway and sequential order is important to you, there is a noticeable progression/parallel to the second season - I read them in reverse order and it did bother me a little so you might just want to be patient and do them in order.

They go like this:

Something In The Water by Trevor Baxendale
Trace Memory by David Llewellyn
The Twilight Streets by Gary Russell

Thanks. It sounds as if they're all fairly good, but it's worth reading them in order. I particularly want the Trace Memory one because I may yet do this fanfic piece about how Ianto ended up in Torchwood, but given the way it is failing to happen there's clearly no rush.
