Things have been pretty (well, actually… completely!) quiet on the Torchwood front as of late – but fans will be pleased to hear that we’ll be getting a new adventure next month in the form of Exodus Code.

In the novel, which just so happens to be written by Captain Jack himself, John Barrowman, with his sister, Carole, Earth is hit by a series of tremors, and scientists and governments have been left bewildered and silent. What the world needs is Torchwood, but there’s not much of Torchwood left.

It’s cover has been revealed ahead of its release on 13th September – order it here!

Torchwood’s future is “in limbo”, but discuss where you would like it to go next here…

If you fancy waking up to John Barrowman we recommend you tune in to Daybreak tomorrow (Wednesday) morning!

The Captain Jack actor will be on the sofa to discuss all his latest projects, and we’re sure he’s got plenty of ‘em!

This month he is embarking on his summer concerts, and in the autumn he will be releasing his own Torchwood novel, Exodus Code, which he has written with his sister, Carole E. Barrowman.

It’s also been revealed recently that he will be playing Jack in Jack and the Beanstalk at Glasgow’s Clyde Auditorium at Christmas. The pantomime will also star The Krankies.

The release date and synopsis for Exodus Code – the new Torchwood novel by John Barrowman – has been revealed!

The Captain Jack Harkness actor has co-written the story, which is due to be published on 1st August 2012, with his sister, Carole E. Barrowman. He has previously described the adventure, which is set after the events of last year’s Miracle Day, as “f****** awesome”.

Pre-order ‘Exodus Code’ on Amazon for £16.99!

John and Carole’s children novel, Hollow Earth, is also out now. Find out more here!

It starts with a series of unexplained events. Earth tremors across the globe. People being driven insane by their heightened and scrambled senses. And the world is starting to notice – the number one Twitter trend is #TheLoco. Governments and scientists are bewildered and silent. The world needs Torchwood, but there’s not much of Torchwood left. Captain Jack has tracked the problem to its source: a village in Peru, where he’s uncovered evidence of alien involvement. Back in Cardiff, Gwen Cooper has discovered something lurking inside the Torchwood software – something alien and somehow connected to Jack. If the world is to be restored, she has to warn him – but she’s quickly becoming a victim of the madness, too!

Please join us at WhovianNet as we raise our glasses to wish John Barrowman a very happy birthday!

He acts, he sings, he dances, he presents, he writes, and, today, he turns 45 years old. We hope he has a wonderful day of celebrating!

John’s told fans to “wait and see” what the future holds for Torchwood, but we’ll be reunited with Jack in the summer in the novel Exodus Code, that John’s written with his sister.

They’ve also written a children’s book, Hollow Earth, together – buy it online today!

John Barrowman and his sister, Carole, dropped into chat to Graham Norton on his BBC Radio 2 show earlier today.

While the majority of the interview was focused on their new children’s book, Hollow Earth, which is out now, they also teased fans of Captain Jack with a few details about their forthcoming Torchwood novel! “We have just mapped out and finished the very first chapter of it,” John revealed, before exclusively revealing its title as Exodus Code. He confirmed: “It comes out in August or September.”

In another interview recently, the actor said the story is “f****** awesome” for fans.

Meanwhile, they’ve also appeared on BBC Radio Oxford to promote the book, which tells the story of telepathic twins who find themselves sought out by villains. During that interview, John comments on the future of Torchwood, simply saying: “Wait and see…”.
