=== ''The Bio-Assassins'' ===
Posner's only novel is a biological warfare thriller set in the Cold War.  According to ''[[Publishers Weekly]]'', "Posner's first novel, a thriller whose development depends heavily on the author's convincing descriptions of the technology in intelligence work. The narrative works within the current conventions of its genre: principle is a mask for expedience; cynicism displaces conviction; proficiency implies virtue. But Posner, author of nonfiction works on Josef Mengele and Chinese secret societies, handles his material well. His descriptions move smartly; his characters, while somewhat two-dimensional, are convincing in their context; and his plot is constructed to satisfy demanding readers."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-07-050611-4 |title=Review: The Bio-Assassins}}</ref>
