The Men Who Sold The World is an original novel by Guy Adams.
Released in August 2011 it is a prequel to Miracle Day and featuring Rex with fleeting appearances from Esther.
Despite the fact that this took place before Rex and Esther joined Torchwood in Miracle Day, the Torchwood team are not exempt in appearing in The Men Who Sold The World with Jack, Gwen and Ianto appearing briefly in a flashback that connects with the current events of this novel even though this was before Jack and Gwen ever met Rex and Esther.
The Men Who Sold The World makes good as a James Bond-like adventure with Rex being the Bond figure here.
Quite enjoyable especially the sinister Mr Wynter and how Rex dealt with an intruder in his hotel room.
While the book was overall enjoyable there is something disconcerting about it due to it having six Chapter 19s and the opening and closing segments which looked confusing on first reading and it took a second reading to understand these segments.
