dieastraThis story wouldn't have been possible without the help of jbsnow who first had the idea of making the item this story is about, and kindly supplied me with the pictures for printing.
An ordinary day in the Hub. Myfanwy is flying around.
Gwen and Tosh are working on their stations.
Ianto is cleaning.
Look at that mess!
Apparently they had pizza and donuts.
Jack is - reading a book?!?
Actually he is supposed to work on those reports - but he's reading.
He likes to read and has a whole book shelf.
Finally Gwen demands that he gets off his seat, because the rift monitor is making funny noises.
But Jack tells her she's in charge today and turns another page.
Gwen and Ianto catch a Weevil.
Jack keeps reading.
The Hub's overrun by scary creatures who want to overtake the world.
Everyone gives their best to fight them.
Jack keeps reading.
Finally they have enough. They demand to know what this is all about.
Gwen flicks through the pages - what's so special with this book?
So Jack tells them.
"This a new book by that cute guy John Barrowman and his sister Carole. It's called 'Hollow Earth'. It's a sci-fi novel for young people. It's about twelve-year-old twins Matt and Em who can make their drawings come to life and get into the pictures themselves. People who can do that are called animaires."
"And I wonder how they know about them. It's not just sci-fi, they are real, I once met them. We have to go and retcon these Barrowman people. Are you coming, guys?"
"Guys?"
"Um, guys?!?!?"
Gwen distractedly waves Jack away with one hand and says: "You go alone, it just became very suspenseful, I have to read on." Ianto demands that Gwen reads it out loud to them and Tosh has spotted that two more books are planned. "We can't retcon them, Jack, not at least till they have written the rest! And there also probably shall be a tv series or even a movie..."
Jack groans.
THE END
If want to see what all the fuss is about and got curious, you can order the book here (depending on where you live). I haven't read it myself yet though, so don't blame me when you don't like it - blame Jack ;)
