Reviews

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 Ive 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. Poseys Outriders is thrilling, action-packed science fiction that grabs and doesnt let go!
Jason M. Hough, New York Timesbestselling author of The Dire Earth Cycle

Outriders offers up a realistic portrayal of grey world / black ops while doing some nice horizon busting both conceptually and technologically. A highly enjoyable read.
August Cole, co-author of Ghost Fleet

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 on Tom Clancys The Division
