G X Todd is a librarian from the West Midlands.

Compelling, suspenseful and altogether extraordinary. You 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 It's not often you read a debut this assured, this confident. Defender is simply majestic - Adam Christopher An incredibly accomplished and impressive debut. The novel is a piece with Stephen King's The Stand. . . Defender stands head and shoulders above most recent post-apocalyptic offerings. - Independent
