Reviews

Jay Posey writes action sequences to speed the blood; quieter passages give his intergalactic conspiracies plenty of room to breathe and time to fester

Terrific

PRAISE FOR JAY POSEY

You begin to read and realise youve become so engrossed in that a whole day has passed by without you noticing.
Strange Alliances

Jay Posey is stepping up and showing the science fiction community that he is a powerhouse in the genre.
Looking for a Good Book

Poseys 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

A high-paced blend of near-future space opera and military sf, and in a nutshell its good fun.
SFF World

Very smooth like a conventional spec-ops novel translated into the future.
