Defender was initially published by Persona around Xmas 1998. However, the sad death of SAM stalwart Malcolm Mackenzie, and the subsequent demise of Persona, meant the game had a very short production run. The game later became available via the Internet.
As far as I am aware the game never received any sort of write-up or review by any of the many SAM Diskzines or Fanzines. It probably arrived too late in the SAM’s life to be reviewed by any of the Spectrum magazines in their SAM pages. I’m not sure, but it’s possible most (all?) of the Speccy magazines had died by early 1999?
