Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Ray Porter’s narration is top-notch, perfectly capturing the urgency and suspense of 'The Defector.' His portrayal adds depth to every character, particularly the enigmatic Grief. The story builds gradually, with twists that are both surprising and satisfying. However, some pacing issues can occasionally slow down the momentum, particularly in quieter moments. Nevertheless, Hadfield’s writing excels at balancing action sequences with psychological insights, creating a compelling narrative that’s hard to put down.
