Catch Fire! Celebration

I want to make you all aware of a writer friend of mine--Alex J Cavanaugh--who is launching his second book right now, called CassaFire, which you can purchase by clicking here. The book is a sequel to Cavanaugh's first book, CassaStar. I know how it is to launch a book and see slow sales out of the gate, so I am trying to help make CassaFire start out big. If you love scifi, read on for a description of CassaStar:

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…

If you are worried that you haven't read CassaStar, then buy a copy of it and CassaFire. I would explain CassaStar as similar to Ender's Game, but not so similar that you know how everything is going to play out. In my opinion, if you are a fan of Ender's Game, then you are going to love CassaStar.
