Reviews
"This kinetic space thriller is gripping." - Omnivoracious; "Exciting and brilliant...This is the best military SF series I have read." - A Book Drunkard; "Fans of series like The Expanse should eat this up, as well as those already familiar with the series." - Just A Guy That Likes To Read; "This enjoyable military science fiction adventure about a crack black ops outfit that gets to do all the 'mission impossible' jobs, assisted by some scarily effective technical toys, is smoothly written with a nicely twisty plot." - Brainfluff; "Enjoyable, action-packed, and readable." - Reading Glutton; "This is why I read sci-fi books." - Purple Owl Reviews; "Intense action sequences and Machiavellian intrigue." - Strange Alliances; "This is Bond for the modern age and with an ensemble cast." - Online Eccentric Librarian; "The plot is nail biting." - Strange Allances; "This military science fiction adventure once more hooked me in with yet another enthralling plot in a story where the stakes aren't just cities or countries sucked into war and devastation, but planets." - SF Reader; PRAISE FOR OUTRIDERS; "A few pages into Outriders and I forgot the book was set in a sci-fi world. Jay nails the mindset and the dynamics of a special operations unit. Keenly written with authentic characters, Outriders was one of the best sci-fi books I've read in a long time." - Kevin Maurer, author of Hunter Killer and No Easy Day; "Spoiler alert: The main character dies on page one. And then things get very interesting. Posey's Outriders is thrilling, action-packed science fiction that grabs and doesn't let go!" - Jason M Hough, New York Times bestselling author of The Dire Earth Cycle; "A few pages into Outriders and I forgot the book was set in a sci-fi world. Jay nails the mindset and the dynamics of a special operations unit. Keenly written with authentic characters, Outriders was one of the best sci-fi books I've read in a long time." - August Cole, co-author of Ghost Fleet: A Novel of the Next World War; "With Outriders, Jay Posey announces himself as belonging in the top rank of military science fiction authors. Effortlessly cool and instantly engaging, Outriders is impossible to put down." - Richard Dansky, lead writer, Tom Clancy's The Division; "I literally bit my nails to the quick from the non-stop, mind-bending action and tension - Jay Posey, you owe me new fingernails, but I forgive you that along with the lost sleep. It was well worth every minute of it. This is classic interplanetary outer-space sci-fi in the grand classical tradition and I ate it up! I really can't wait until Book #2 is ready to read - so get writing already - those are your marching orders, Mr. Posey! And for you sci-fi fans out there, I highly recommend Outriders!" - Popcorn Reads; "This book should have come with a warning - Attention! Once started this book cannot be put down. An amazing blending of military action & SF. I have rarely encountered a book that I HAD to finish; it kept me up all night. But it was worth it." - A Book Drunkard; "I really enjoyed reading this. It was very smooth, and felt more like a conventional spec-ops novel translated into the future..." - Morning Book Review; "The adventure zipped along at a cracking pace with plenty of tension." - Brainfluff; "This was a fun read. Outriders is a story well-balanced between a space opera and military science fiction." - Jerald Nichols; "At the heart of Outriders is a thriller with bursts of action and a book you begin to read and realise you've become so engrossed in that a whole day has passed by without you noticing." - Strange Alliances; "People are judged on the content of their character, their actions and choices, not even a little bit on what they look like or who their ancestors were. I hope other authors take note. This is how you do diversity." - Reanne Reads; "It is a military science fiction adventure story with a twisty plot and a complex political landscape. It focuses on a very small unit of people with character development as a centerpiece but the plot gods are also appeased. A great read for lovers of science fiction adventure!" - Bull Spec; "It read like a good Spec Ops story, but with the added flavor of being set in the future. I look forward to reading more in this series. 5/5." - John Purvis; "Jay Posey is stepping up and showing the science fiction community that he is a powerhouse in the genre." - Looking for a Good Book; "Posey's writing is easy, the characters nuanced, and certainly there is a lot to love here as a result. The villains are just as interesting as the good guys and there is definitely a set up for a larger story." - Online Eccentric Librarian; "Outriders offers a high-paced blend of near-future space opera and military sf, and in a nutshell it's good fun." - SFF World; "Very smooth... like a conventional spec-ops novel translated into the future." - Morning Book Review; "Outriders is a fun, fast-paced story with plenty of action and interesting characters. Check it out." - Futures Past and Present
