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; 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: 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
