Joe Zieja is an author best known for his humorous science fiction works, particularly the EPIC FAILURE series. His debut novel, "Mechanical Failure," published in 2016, earned critical acclaim for its witty satire of military bureaucracy, drawing comparisons to the works of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams. The series follows ex-sergeant R. Wilson Rogers as he navigates the absurdities of a futuristic military organization while avoiding any actual responsibility, especially when it involves saving the galaxy.

Beyond his literary career, he is also a prolific voice actor, having lent his talents to notable roles such as Fox McCloud in "STAR FOX ZERO: THE BATTLE BEGINS," as well as projects like "Persona 5," "Oxenfree," and "Mobile Suit GUNDAM: Iron-Blooded Orphans." His diverse background in military service, voice acting, and music composition contributes to the distinctive blend of satire and authenticity in his writing.
