Alex has always been very good to me, and I adore him. Just check out his blog and see how many people he connects with on a daily basis. It boggles the mind what a great guy he is. After I first started blogging, I won his 200 followers contest, and I not only won an ARC of his book, CassaStar, but he featured me on his blog HERE.
I read his first book and reviewed CassaStar HERE. I promise I do not mention books ever on my blog unless I love them. Alex has a talent for creating memorable characters who are easy to relate to and for expressing difficult relationships. Oh, and those action scenes! I can't wait to read this sequel because I think it's going to be even better. Here's what it's all about:
CassaFire
by Alex J.
Cavanaugh
CassaStar was just the
beginning…
The Vindicarn War is a distant
memory and Byron’s days of piloting Cosbolt fighters are over. He has kept the
promise he made to his fallen mentor and friend - to probe space on an
exploration vessel. Shuttle work is dull, but it’s a free and solitary
existence. The senior officer is content with his life aboard the
Rennather.
The detection of alien ruins sends
the exploration ship to the distant planet of Tgren. If their scientists can
decipher the language, they can unlock the secrets of this device. Is it a key
to the Tgren’s civilization or a weapon of unimaginable power? Tensions mount as
their new allies are suspicious of the Cassan’s technology and strange mental
abilities.
To complicate matters, the Tgrens
are showing signs of mental powers themselves; the strongest of which belongs to
a pilot named Athee, a woman whose skills rival Byron’s unique abilities. Forced
to train her mind and further develop her flying aptitude, he finds his patience
strained. Add a reluctant friendship with a young scientist, and he feels
invaded on every level. All Byron wanted was his privacy…

CassaFire is the sequel to Cavanaugh’s first
book, CassaStar, an Amazon Top Ten
Best Seller:
“…calls to mind the youthful focus
of Robert Heinlein’s early military sf, as well as the excitement of space opera
epitomized by the many Star
Wars novels. Fast-paced military action and a youthful protagonist make
this a good choice for both young adult and adult fans of space wars.” - Library
