The Defector is a strong sequel to the Apollo Murders that continues to follow Kaz during the late 60s - early 70s. The book uses characters from the prior story to get the reader comfortable with the world again while also introducing new characters. The story holds a steady pace that will keep the reader wanting more. My only complaint is how fast the final 75 pages of this book move the story. It gets moving at a break neck pace that makes it feel like the ending was a bit of an afterthought.
