Science Fiction
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…

“This sequel to Cavanaugh's first novel, CassaStar, delivers
on the promise of its predecessor, combining military action sequences and political intrigue with strong, memorable characters.
Reminiscent of the action-driven stories of Robert A. Heinlein's early fiction…” - Library Journal
“This is a book of inner and outer journeys, of inner and outer adventures, mysteries and revelations.
It is also a book of friendship, relationship and equality. CassaStar is the cake. CassaFire is the cherry.”
-
Edi’s Book Lighthouse
“A fun filled space opera of romance and adventure, CassaFire harkens back to its 80s influences
like Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 20th Century, and Star Wars. Family friendly and sure to please fans
of classic space opera in the Golden Age Style.”
- Bryan Thomas Schmidt, author “The Worker Prince”
“…perfect for
someone looking for a light space adventure with… great characters and story. Highly Recommended.”
- Speculative
Book Reviews
“This is the ideal novel for anyone wanting to dip their toes into Sci-Fi. I can’t
recommend this one highly enough.”
- Fantasy Nibbles
“The author knows how to keep things moving... a real page turner. The best space
opera fiction I've read in awhile.”
