My PC crashing ate my original reply to this, so here goes in truncated form:

Yes, it is meant to be a WTF?! sort of novel. It will be explained by the end, and you'll suspect long before. It's an idea that I think would work better as an episode of Torchwood, or as a novella, than as a whole novel.

Nevertheless I did persevere. And it does highlight that despite the Torchwood Institute's vaunted technological advancement, they are children playing with the grown-up's tools.


As an aside: none of the novels really captures the characters very well. I think that a lot of the problem is that the authors clearly only had early episodes to work from. And the characters in the series have moved on from the starting point.
