Defender of the Realm: 1

Product Information

What Alfie isn't expecting is the EXTRA roles that come with being King Alfred II, responsibilities that have been passed down from his ancestors and aren't your run of the mill royal duties. Can he defeat this new enemy and prove to his doubters that he is a worthy successor to the throne and Defender of the nation?

When I was visiting the southwest of England, I saw a Defender wrapped in dark green, almost like British Racing Green, so I had to do some Landy spotting and take a photograph. The characters were high schoolers who read like middle schoolers throughout except for in one or two key moments. This is a fast-paced, inventive and highly entertaining book which will appeal to boys and girls age 10 up, which is quite an achievement!We truly believed the script we’d just written and sent off was pure story gold and we sat back and waited to be love-bombed by the producer.

He would like nothing better than to throw off his royal status and lead a normal teenage life, but instead he finds himself unexpectedly propelled on to the throne by the death of his father. But, Hayley is an interesting character, if anything, I would not mind if there are some changes of POV at the subsequent series. The main theme is responsibility, and the core message is about the difference between having superpowers and being a hero.

And it’s all interlinked, without the failures you don’t learn anything so you’ll never progress to the successes.Defender Of The Realm tells the story or Alfie who is a reluctant heir to the thrown and who finds himself thrust into the limelight to take on his duty a little earlier in life than he would have thought. Hayley is a strong character who helps cement the story in contemporary times, bringing her technological know-how to improve the armoury of the Defender of the Realm. Alas, the paparazzi and school bully won’t leave him alone because he is Prince Alfred, future King Alfred the Second of England.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It's a story deeply rooted in Britain, exploring famous landmarks and the succession of the monarchy since the dark ages, starting with Alfie's namesake Alfred the Great. So impressed was I by the Defender that as soon as I had tested one, I said to Land Rover that I just had to get one. Alfie must quickly grow into the King the country needs, or who knows what will be left of the country?The boxy design of the original Defender has circumnavigated the world with iconic shots of the Defender everywhere you can possibly go on the planet.
