Catch Fire Blog Party!


Congratulations to Alex J. Cavanaugh on the release of his new novel CassaFire. I'm really happy to be participating in this party, and I wish Alex the best of luck with his big release. I first discovered Alex's blog during last year's A-Z Challenge, and he is easily one of the most enthusiastic and engaging bloggers I have seen. He deserves all of his success and more, and I've no doubt that CassaFire will be as great a read as his first novel CassaStar was.

Here is everything you need to know about today's party:

The goal of the Catch Fire Party is to help CassaFire “catch fire” on the best seller charts. 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. See Alex’s site for details: http://alexjcavanaugh.blogspot.com/

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 Journal

  7. @Jemi, I agree!

    @Julie, LOL, thanks! But all the credit goes to Alex, I used his write-up. :)

    @Carolyn, before I started blogging I never read sci-fi either. It's been fun to try a new genre thanks to all the great sci-fi writers in the blogosphere.

    @Yvonne, thanks, I hope you are enjoying your day as well.

    @Alex, you're welcome, and congratulations again!

    @Armchair Squid, oh, thanks, I will be over to check it out, thank you!
