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.

Defender by G X Todd is an imaginative thriller that draws on influences from Stephen King, Clive Barker and Neil Gaiman to create a new world - where the biggest threat mankind faces is from the voices inside your own head. If you loved The Stand, you´ll love Defender, the first in a four part series.

´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

´On the cusp of sleep, have we not all heard a voice call out our name?´

In a world where long drinks are in short supply, a stranger listens to the voice in his head telling him to buy a lemonade from the girl sitting on a dusty road.

The moment locks them together. Here and now it´s dangerous to listen to your inner voice. Those who do, keep it quiet.

These voices have purpose.

And when Pilgrim meets Lacey, there is a reason. He just doesn´t know it yet.

Defender pulls you on a wild ride to a place where the voices in your head will save or slaughter you.
