Defender by G X Todd
The primal battle between Good and Evil plays out in a new arena. With nods back to Stephen King's The Stand, Defender is the first in a four part series where your inner voice might kill you.
Compelling, suspenseful, and altogether extraordinaryYou won't forget this one in a hurry -- Lee Child
So accomplished that it's difficult to believe it's a first novel, Defender is already worthy to take its place alongside The Stand in the canon. An absolute gem of a book -- John Connolly
A chilling vision of a world gone feral, yet strangely triumphant. You can taste the dust and blood and sweat; the fear on every page. Readers should approach with caution, those voices will burrow into your head and heart -- Karen Maitland
An incredibly accomplished and impressive debut. The novel is of a piece with Stephen King's The Stand. . . Defender stands head and shoulders above most recent post-apocalyptic offerings * Independent *
It's not often you read a debut this assured, this confident. Defender is simply majestic -- Adam Christopher, author of Made to Kill
Defender is insane, intelligent, beautifully plotted, intensely absorbing and will enfold you in a vice-like grip from the first page until the last sentence * Lizlovesbooks.com *
A rich blend of horror and heart . . . sharp, gruelling and gripping, and we can't wait to explore this harsh world further and see what Todd has to offer us in part two * SciFiNow magazine *
Highly entertaining . . . Defender portrays a vivid picture of the cruelty of humanity and highlights the destructive power of the mind * thebookbag.com *
Defender is a delightfully dark dystopian journey with compelling characters and a provocative plot. Highly recommended * sfbook.com *
Yes it's dark, violent and blood. Yes there's gore, guns and grief. But there's also friendship, loyalty, fantastic characters and writing that will keep you hooked from the outset. . . This is a series to be really excited about * strupag.com *
Extremely refreshing . . . a brilliant thriller * Starburst magazine *
Defender is lifted way above the other novels in the over-subscribed post-apocalyptic subgenre by Todd's sympathetic characterisation, and superb pacing * Guardian *
G X Todd is not just going to be "The Next Big Thing", she's going to be the benchmark for other "Next Big Things" * ebookwyrm.blogspot.co.uk *
Post-apocalyptic amazingness -- Gillian McAllister, author of Everything But The Truth
Promises to be the start of a wonderful series. A superb debut novel * bluebookballoon.blogspot.co.uk *
