About the work of Kacey Ezell:

"Gritty, dark and damp. Much like the war itself."Michael Z. Williamson, best-selling author of A Long Time Until Now

"I loved Minds of Men."D.J. Butler,best-selling author of Witchy Eye

"A lot of good scifi writers write war, but sometimes forget that it is fought by actual people, and even in the midst of war, you don't stop being people while you fight. If you want a good read that dares you to think about what it is like to go to war when you can't hide behind the masks you learn to wear, check it out."John T. Mainer
