Army of One (audio story)

Army of One was the seventh release of the BBC Torchwood audio stories.

Publisher's summary
Washington DC, post-Miracle. The city has been hit by a spate of very unusual serial killings. The victims are different ages and genders and the locations vary, but each body has one thing in common – it has been reduced to a dried-up, dessicated husk.

Special Agent Lucas Avery has dealt with some tricky puzzles in his time, but this is stranger than anything he's ever encountered. His one lead is a pair of names: 'Gwen' and 'Rhys'...

For Gwen Cooper and Rhys Williams, still recovering from the recent, traumatic events that shook the world, life is about to get difficult and dangerous again. For it's not just Homeland Security on their trail, but something else – something alien, terrifying and deadly...

Plot
After withdrawing money from a Torchwood safety deposit box for Esther's sister, Rhys is captured by a Homeland Security SWAT team and Gwen drives away with Anwen, suffering from the worst of her recent headaches and having a vision of an alien attack in a Red Coffee. She goes to investigate and has a vision of a ten-day mission in which she, Jack, Owen, Tosh and Ianto looked into a mystery Rhys brought to their attention.

Agent Lucas Avery interviews Rhys about emaciated corpses found in locations that he and Gwen had recently visited before putting him with a group of other men named Rhys on a floor above one where women named Gwen are being kept.
