DEFENDER (Book 1 in The Voices series), publishing 12th January 2017.

isbn9781472233080

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.

REVIEWS

Compelling, suspenseful, and altogether extraordinary. You won’t forget this one in a hurry – Lee Child

Defender is lifted way above other novels in the over-subscribed post-apocalyptic subgenre by Todd’s sympathetic characterisation and superb pacing – Guardian

An an incredibly accomplished and impressive debut… In a crowded genre, Defender stands head and shoulders above most recent post-apocalyptic offerings – Independent

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

Defender shows there’s still life to be found in the post-apocalypse, offering a rich blend of horror and heart with a highly effective high-concept genre conceit – SciFiNow

It’s not often you read a debut this assured, this confident. Defender is simply majestic – Adam Christopher, author of Made to Kill

An outstanding debut, Defender is a brilliant post apocalyptic novel that will haunt your thoughts long after the final page. Thrilling and chilling, G X Todd’s novel is unputdownable – The Bookbag

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

Defender is a delightfully dark dystopian journey with compelling characters and a provocative plot. Highly recommended – sfbook.com

Extremely refreshing… a brilliant thriller – Starburst magazine

The birds are flying. The birds are flocking. The birds sense the red skies are coming.

One man is driven by an inner voice that isn’t his – this Other is chewing at his sanity like a jackal with a bone and has one purpose.

To find the voice hiding in the girl.

She has no one to defend her now.

But in an inn by the sea, a boy with no tongue and no voice gathers his warriors. Albus must find the girl, Lacey . . . before the Other does.

And finish the work his sister Ruby began.

Hunted is the second book in the acclaimed Voices series, where the battle between Good and Evil holds you in its vice-like grip.
