Synopsis

The world is ending. But the voice in your head might just save you. Listen to it very carefully...

'Of a piece with Stephen King's The Stand' INDEPENDENT

'Lee Child channelling Stephen King - but the vision is unique' DAILY MAIL

Defender is a 'heart-in-mouth', wildly original post-apocalyptic thriller for fans of Stephen King, Clive Barker and The Walking Dead.

---

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, it's dangerous to listen to your inner voice.

Those who do, keep it quiet.

But one man listens to the voice in his head telling him to buy a lemonade from the girl sitting on a dusty road.

There is a reason why Pilgrim and Lacey must cross paths.

They just don't know it yet . . .

'Compelling, suspenseful and altogether extraordinary' LEE CHILD

'So accomplished that it's difficult to believe it's a first novel' JOHN CONNOLLY
