Consequences
Saving the planet, watching over the Rift, preparing the human race for the twenty-first century… Torchwood has been keeping Cardiff safe since the late 1800s. Small teams of heroes, working 24/7, encountering and containing the alien, the bizarre, and the inexplicable. But Torchwood do not always see the effects of their actions. What links the Rules and Regulations for replacing a Torchwood leader to the destruction of a shopping center? How does a witness to an alien’s reprisals against Torchwood become caught up in a night of terror in a university library? And why should Gwen and Ianto’s actions at a local publisher have a cost for Torchwood more than half-a-century earlier? For Torchwood, the past will always catch up with them. And sometimes the future will catch up with the past…

- Consequences was the fifteenth release in the BBC Torchwood Novels series. Unlike previous releases, this book takes the form of short stories by five authors — the first time such a format has been used for Torchwood.
- The originally released cover art for the book only cred three authors: Moran, Lidster and Cartmel. Additional names were added to the cover when BBC Books made its official release announcement in July 2009. BBC Books also released a revised version of the cover art.
- Among the incidents recalled by Nina Rogers are the bombing of Cardiff (Exit Wounds), the Dalek invasion (The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End), an astrologer on taking people over through their star signs (Secrets of the Stars), a serial killer targeting people with singing talent (Into the Silence), and the zombie attack (Bay of the Dead).
