My friend is getting published!

Hey everyone! A friend of mine wrote a book and it's being released tomorrow. Of course I haven't read it yet so I can't say that I think it's the best book I've ever read (yet), but obviously I'm super excited for him and wanted to give him a plug here.

Three by Jay Posey (amazon)

It's a post-apocalyptic sci-fi and the reviews have been quite good so far, with the biggest criticism being that there are no infodumps and the reader therefore has to do a lot of the work to imagine how the world came to be the way it is. This is very much ymmv territory. Tor has a nicely thorough review here that I think gives a fair idea of the book.

By the way, he's contracted for a trilogy and I have the inside scoop that he'll be turning in a first draft of the second book next week so there shouldn't be copious wait times in between books.

Coming back here for two reasons: One, the first book, Three, was great! I highly recommend it for anyone who likes post-apocalyptic SF, especially when it has a tech-heavy bent. And exciting news, the second book was released today!

Morningside Fall by Jay Posey

One note, for some ridiculous reason whoever wrote the blurb decided to put a GIANT spoiler in the first sentence. Like, a "He's Luke's father" or "He was dead the whole time" or "Soylent Green is people" -level spoiler. So, try not to read the description for the second book unless you've already read the first book.

Yay, thanks!

By the way, I flew through Morningside Fall, Jay does a great job of writing protagonists that I love and antagonists that I love to hate.
