Reviews
"Wondering what to do until Top Gun 3 arrives? Don't worry, Chris Hadfield's got it covered. And who better?"-- Rowland White, author of Harrier 809, " The Defector is an extraordinary novel that is sure to keep readers enthralled. Brimming with detail and realism and full of pulse-pounding action, it's a well-crafted thriller that I just couldn't put down!"-- Mark Greaney, New York Times bestselling author of Burner, a Gray Man novel, as well as co-author of seven Tom Clancy novels, "Commander Hadfield takes us on an exciting journey into an alternate past. And who better to write about astronauts than an astronaut himself!"-- Andy Weir, New York Times bestselling author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary, "Ideal exciting escapist reading for those aviation buffs who like the details to be right."-- Royal Aeronautical Society, "Hadfield's writing is superb. He is a gifted storyteller, able to take his real world experiences and turn them into a gripping and intensely realistic fictional story. Fans of The Apollo Murders will seek out this one, but because it works as a stand-alone, newcomers will also thoroughly enjoy it."-- Booklist, "Tom Clancy-style fighter jets and a sprinkling of reality from Hadfield's time as a test pilot . . . It is a thriller in every sense."-- New Scientist, "A Cold War thriller packed with cosmic action... Featuring undercover spies, scheming Russians and psychopathic murderers, sometimes all at once, it teems with authoritative details about what it might be like, for instance, to throw up in space or to grapple with a deadly Soviet astronaut who assaults you during a spacewalk."-- The New York Times, "Hadfield uses his experiences to great effect in this thrilling story . . . The Defector moves at great speed and contains mesmerizing descriptions of flying under supreme pressure."-- Literary Review (UK), "Packed with the kind of insider knowledge you simply don't get in thrillers these days, The Defector is not just an intelligent book, it's an exciting book. Expertly paced with breathtaking set pieces, I raced through it in a couple of sittings. It reminded me of Frederick Forsyth in his pomp--highly recommended."-- M. W. Craven, author of Fearless, "A Cold War thriller unlike anything you have ever read! From fighter pilot and astronaut Chris Hadfield, The Defector is a full throttle, adrenaline-laced espionage page-turner spiked with history and intrigue that will leave you wondering if what you just read could have really happened. Get ready to blast off and enjoy the ride!"-- Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL Sniper and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the James Reece Terminal List series, "A complex and potentially deadly Cold War drama . . . Before Hadfield was an astronaut, he was a test pilot, and this novel draws heavily on his experiences. The characters are based on real people, and the technology is historically accurate. Hadfield's writing is superb. He is a gifted storyteller, able to take his real-world experiences and turn them into a gripping and intensely realistic fictional story. Fans of The Apollo Murders will seek out this one, but because it works as a stand-alone, newcomers will also thoroughly enjoy it." -- Booklist, "Continuous action, Mach-speed mayhem, sharp intrigue, and well rounded characters--what more could you want from a thriller? Oh, the author is a former astronaut who knows what he's talking about and a lot of what's in the story actually happened. Perfect." -- Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author, "Nail-bitingly exciting . . . Hadfield is clearly destined to inherit the late Tom Clancy's mantle as master of the techno-thriller genre."-- Irish Independent, "An explosive thriller by a writer who has actually been to space and back . . . Strap in for the ride!" -- Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X novels, "A nail-biting Cold War thriller set against the desperate Apollo mission that never really happened ... or did it? It's a very rare book that combines so many things I love, from taut suspense and highly realistic action, to the golden age of space exploration. I couldn't put it down."-- James Cameron, Academy Award-winning writer and director of Avatar and Titanic, "Not to be missed. Even in fiction there is authenticity. It is either there... or it is not. With Chris Hadfield it is, because everything he describes he has really seen."-- Frederick Forsyth, New York Times bestselling author of The Day of the Jackal and The Fox, "Hadfield keeps the suspense steady before delivering a knockout air battle that brings everything to a white-knuckle close. Kaz's adventures continue to electrify."-- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
From a New York Times bestselling author, astronaut, and fighter pilot comes a "full-throttle, adrenaline-laced espionage page-turner" (Jack Carr, New York Times bestselling author) and Cold War thriller perfect for fans of Top Gun and The Hunt for Red October . Israel, October 1973. As the Yom Kippur War flares into life, a state-of-the-art Soviet MiG fighter plane plummets to an unexpected landing. NASA Flight Controller and former US test pilot Kaz Zemeckis watches from the ground--unaware that its arrival will pull him into a high-stakes game of spies, lies, and secrets that hold the key to Cold War air and space supremacy. For within that plane is a Soviet pilot pleading to defect, offering a prize beyond value: the workings of the Soviets' mythical "Foxbat" MiG-25, the fastest, highest-flying fighter plane in the world. But trusting him is risky, and Kaz must tread a careful line. As Kaz accompanies the defector into the United States, to the military's most secret test site, he must hope that, with skill and cunning, the game plays out his way. Rich with insider detail and political intrigue drawn from real events, The Defector is a propulsive thriller from a growing master of the genre, filled with the nerve-shredding rush of aerial combat as it could only be told by one of the world's best fighter pilots. "Wondering what to do until Top Gun 3 arrives? Don't worry, Hadfield's got it covered." --Rowland White "Brimming with detail and realism and full of pulse-pounding action." --Mark Greaney "Hadfield's writing is superb. Fans of The Apollo Murders will seek out this one, but newcomers will also thoroughly enjoy it." -- Booklist Praise for The Apollo Murders "A Cold War thriller packed with cosmic action." -- New York Times "An exciting journey into an alternate past." --Andy Weir, author of The Martian "Propulsive . . . a space race thrill ride." -- Newsweek "An intelligent and surprising nail-biter that Tom Clancy fans will relish." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
