Captain Lincoln Suh died on a Wednesday. And things only got harder from there.

Snatched out of special operations and thrown headfirst into a secretive new unit, Lincoln finds himself as the team leader for the 519th Applied Intelligence Group, better known as the Outriders. And his first day on the job brings a mission with the highest possible stakes.

A dangerously cunning woman who most assuredly should be dead has seemingly returned. And her plans aren’t just devastating, they might be unstoppable.

How do you defeat a hidden enemy when you can’t let them know they’ve been discovered?

You send in the Outriders.

### Review

"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."
– **Kevin Maurer**, author of *Hunter Killer* and *No Easy Day
*

"*Outriders* is a gripping, elegant, high-tech romp. Posey writes like he's some kind of gol-durned sci-fi Tom Clancy. Characters come to full-fledged life with an ease that astonishes, and this plot has a constant credibility that makes believing it a simple pleasure. Here's hoping this guy hurries up and writes another one."
– **Jason VandenBerghe**, Creative Director, Ubisoft (*For Honor*)

Praise and Reviews for Jay Posey

“Posey has constructed a really unique world, one that steps to the side of the usual zombie tropes and provides an apocalypse that’s at once unfathomable, but also believable. That’s no mean feat.”
– **SF Crow’s Nest**

“What really drew me to this book was the mix of elements. It’s post-apocalyptic. It’s a western in styling. It’s science fiction–sometimes rather hard science fiction. It’s a bit of a fantasy, too. The blend of fantastical elements with the science fiction ones, which are in turn harnessed to the western post-apocalyptic setting is a matter of brilliance on Posey’s part.”
