Joseph Brassey has lived on both sides of the continental US, and
has worked as a craft-store employee, paper-boy, factory worker,
hospital kitchen gopher, martial arts instructor, singer, and
stay-at-home Dad (the last is his favorite job, by far). Joseph was
enlisted as a robotic word-machine in 47North's Mongoliad series,
and still trains in - and teaches - Liechtenauer's Kunst des
Fechtens in his native Tacoma. Skyfarer is his first solo
novel.

“One of those remarkable books that consists entirely of ‘the good
parts.’ Nonstop fun with unexpected moments of real pathos.”
- Neal Stephenson
“To say that Skyfarer was Firefly meets the
Battle at Helm’s Deep would be to dismiss the amazing
world-building that Brassey wraps us up in, or to gloss over the
intricate and intense battles we are thrust into, both on high and
up close. Brassey raises the bar for everyone else. More,
please.”
– Mark Teppo, author of Earth Thirst and Silence of
Angels
“This book has one of the best covers I’ve seen all year, and it’s
incredibly accurate in its depiction of the characters and mood of
the story. Do judge the book by its cover!”
– Beth Cato, author of Breath of Earth
“Brassey’s writing is an adrenaline dump in page form.”
– Stant Litore, author of The Zombie Bible series
“A richly imagined story full of soaring adventure, dark intrigue,
and characters you’ll fall in love with.”
– Megan E O’Keefe, author of Inherit the Flame
“Brassey has created an action-packed roller coaster ride with rich
characters, incredible combat scenes, and a fresh heroine audiences
will love.”
– John G Hartness, author of the Black Knight Chronicles series
“Skyfarer ended up being just about everything I was hoping it
would be.”
– Writings of a Reader
“A delightful experience.”
– Bloggers Bookshelf
“No one who reads Skyfarer will ever accuse Joseph
Brassey of being hip; this novel is so unabashedly dorky, it reads
like something dreamed by a Mountain Dew guzzling twelve-year-old
hooked on Star Wars and Final Fantasy. This sword and sorcery space
adventure stands apart from everything else currently out there in
the SFF market.”
– The 1000 Year Plan
“This is a fun read — the pacing, the tone, everything makes this
feel like the adventure films and books that I grew up on. You want
to read it — not just to find out what’s going to happen next, but
because it’s written in such a way that you just want to be reading
the book, like a having a glass of iced tea on a summer’s day.”
– The Irresponsible Reader
“It’s hard to write a good review of this book because the entire
time I was reading it, I was just having so much fun and couldn’t
put it down… I already know several people who I’m going to make
read this when it comes out, and I can’t wait on the next book.
This is a book that I would very highly recommend and is one that I
will happily re-read multiple times. If you enjoy Fantasy or
Sci-Fi, I would definitely suggest giving this a chance. It’s a
fast and fun read and I just had so much fun reading it.”
– Brenhine’s Books
