Description

The second novel in one of the **MOST TALKED-ABOUT** post-apocalyptic series.

'Thrilling . . . Todd skilfully captures hope and humanity in the lives of characters whom the reader comes to care about: Hunted, like Defender, is an impressive achievement' Guardian

The girl has no one to defend her now . . .

The hunt for the girl, Lacey, is on.

One man is tormented by an inner voice that isn't his. It eats away at his sanity and, with cruel precision, orders the lawless to follow him. Their mission is to find the girl, steal what she knows ... and kill.

In an Inn by the sea, Albus gathers a family of warriors and waits to be called upon. He doesn't know yet why Lacey is important, but he trusts his sister. And Ruby says he must find the girl - before it's too late.

A great power lives in Lacey and she has a destiny to fulfil. Whether for good or ill remains to be seen ...

Hunted is the second book in the must-read Voices series, where a voice in your head might be all that stands between survival and death.

'Compelling, suspenseful and altogether extraordinary' Lee Child

Reviews

Compelling. suspenseful, and altogether extraordinary. You won't forget this one in a hurry

So accomplished that it's difficult to believe it's a first novel, Defender is already worth to take its place alongside The Stand in the canon. An absolute gem of a book

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

An incredibly accomplished and impressive debut. The novel is of a piece with Stephen King's The Stand... Defender stands head and shoulders above the most recent post-apocalyptic offerings - Independent

It's not often you read a debut this assured, this confident. Defender is simply majestic

Defender [offers] a rich blend of horror and heart. . . This is 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

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