Description: Praise for MJ-12: Inception "A smart look at a Cold War in many ways even colder and scarier and deadlier than the one we barely survived." -- New York Times bestselling author Harry Turtledove "A heady blend of super-spies and superpowers, MJ-12: Inception is Cold War-era science fiction done right. A taut thriller, and skillfully evocative." -- New York Times bestselling author Chris Roberson " X-Men meets Mission: Impossible . Martinez takes a concept as simple as 'Super spies that are actually super' and comes away with a hit. Filled with compelling, well-rounded characters, MJ-12 is my new favorite spy series." --Michael R. Underwood, author of Geekomancy and the Genrenauts series "The Cold War becomes even more chilling as super-powered Americans are trained to become super-spies in Martinez's new alternate-history thriller. It's morally-complex, intense, and so steeped in the 1940s, you can smell the cigarette smoke." --Beth Cato, author of Breath of Earth and The Clockwork Dagger " MJ-12: Inception is a thriller that blends the best elements of Cold War-era spy stories, supernatural fantasy, and splashy pulp comics." -- B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog " MJ-12: Inception is Michael J. Martinez doing what he does best: taking a selection of great genres and mashing them up into something fresh and exciting, and quite unlike anything you've read before . . . . Or to put it another way, it's like the X-Files and Heroes went back in time, dressed up in dinner jackets, lit a fuse, and jumped through a window to the theme from Mission: Impossible . Absolutely loved it." -- Fantasy Faction "Martinez made a point to recognize the sacrifices made by those in the intelligence community to protect their nation . . . . the characters were all well-developed, their powers were imaginative, the twists weren't obvious and Martinez did a good job capturing the setting . . . . MJ-12: Inception was an enjoyable twist on the superhero genre and I look forward to seeing what happens next." -- Amazing Stories "With MJ-12: Inception , Martinez weaves an intense tale of patriotism, Cold War politics, the U.S. spy network, and the nuances of human relationships which I simply couldn't put down." -- The Qwillery "Martinez has me hooked, and I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in the trilogy--I imagine more Variants, more subterfuge, and more world-ending risks are to be revealed. It's good stuff." -- GeekDad " MJ-12: Inception is both a complete stand alone adventure and a thrilling introduction to a richly reimagined Cold War spy-fi series. I eagerly await Michael J. Martinez's next novel featuring the Majestic 12." -- Mutt Caf Praise for Michael J. Martinez "[Martinez] seamlessly blends popular elements from science fiction and fantasy, producing a work that raises the bar for both." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review for The Venusian Gambit )
