Today is the Catch Fire Blog Party,
celebrating the release of CassaFire by Alex J. Cavanaugh! The goal is to help
CassaFire “catch fire” on the best seller charts and achieve the success of the
first book, CassaStar. There’s also a special package of prizes being given away
at the author’s blog (copies of CassaFire, CassaStar, tote bag, mug, and
bookmarks) as well as book giveaways during his two-week blog tour. 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 Journal
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…
I got CassaStaR for hubby for Christmas, and we read it together--and enjoyed it. We can't wait to read CassaFirE.
So head on over to Alex's place. Besides being one of the nicest guys on the blogosphere, he writes a fun book!
