Risk Assessment is an original novel by James Goss which was released in October 2009.
Risk Assessment is a story featuring Jack, Gwen and Ianto sometime between the season 2 finale Exit Wounds & Children of Earth.
Prior to Risk Assessment, Goss wrote a prequel to it The Last Voyage of Osiris which was published Torchwood Magazine. However having read both the prequel and the main story it did not feel they were connected with each other but still managed to be independently enjoyable stories.
Risk Assessment is about Torchwood being assessed by an assessor Agnes Havisham. If that wasn’t enough to put the Torchwood team on edge Agnes is making her assessment based on 1901 standards. This is because 1901 is the time she is from as she has been sleep for a lot of the time since then. On this occasion this is fourth time she has awaken since her original hibernation.
Agnes Havisham makes for a sinister character and certainly one readers love to hate.
Just as the Torchwood team are kept on their toes by Agnes, they have to deal with a man-eating monster known as the Vam.
Agnes and the Vam along with what happens to Gwen late in the story makes for very good storytelling.
