Andrew Brown found himself working in a large bank such as the Lexington International Bank almost by chance. Little by little, he climbed the ladder of its hierarchy but he struggles more and more due to the lack of time to do everything he’s asked in the best possible way. When the mysterious Mr. Symington and Mr. Blenkinsop make him a surprising proposal, he accepts without understanding all the consequences.

The Eleventh Doctor decides to show them the greatest banking collapse in history but when he and his companions arrive at the Lexington International Bank, he discovers strange things that convince him to investigate.

Gwen Cooper is pregnant but she and Rhys Williams are being hunted by practically every secret agency in the world. They manage to escape when their hideout is discovered and among what are at least in theory Torchwood’s safe places is the small Welsh village of Rawbone, where the couple hopes to raise their recently born daughter Anwen.

Some strange reactions of the inhabitants of Rawbone towards the new arrivals lead Gwen to suspect that something strange is happening in the village. The presence of abnormally calm teenagers and the absence of children make the situation disturbing.

The plot will see the return of the Sea Devils, a prehistoric species first seen in the Third Doctor serial “The Sea Devils” with an appearance in the new series in the Thirteenth Doctor’s era. In the new spinoff, the Sea Devils have evil intentions and it will be up to UNIT to face them in defense of humanity.

The Shining Man by Cavan Scott

The novel “The Shining Man” by Cavan Scott was published for the first time in 2017.

The latest viral sensations on the Internet are what are called the Shining Men. These are alleged supernatural creatures who are tall, with long lank hair, blank faces, and above all, blazing eyes. According to what is said, whoever is taken by them is taken away and vanishes forever. In many cases, jokers were discovered disguised as Shining Men but some cases are inexplicable.

When the Twelfth Doctor and Bill Potts come across a strange story that includes the disappearance of a woman, the tales seem quite realistic. What are the Shining Men? The Doctor links them to sightings that have become part of folklore but this means they live in a world invisible to humans. Even the Doctor must use caution when venturing into that world.

“Empire of Death” is an episode of the 14th season of the new “Doctor Who” series, also indicated as season 1, and follows “The Legend of Ruby Sunday”. It’s also the season finale. It’s available in the UK and Ireland on BBC channels and in many other countries on the Disney+ platform.

Beware that in various adverts and marketing materials, this season is promoted as season 1, marking the start of production by Bad Wolf and distribution by Disney+, hence the double notation. On BBC’s website, “Empire of Death” is indicated as episode 8 of 8 while Disney+ indicates it as episode 9.
