Alex J. Cavanaugh's "Catch Fire!" Blog Party!

In the writing community, there are few ninjas as awesome and supportive as Alex J. Cavanaugh.  That's why we are celebrating the release of his new book CassaFire.  It comes out today -- that's right, TODAY!  Want to know more?  I've got the deets below:

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 

 
But that's not all!  Alex has also embarked on a blog tour which runs until March 9.  Follow him like the groupie you know you want to be, comment on his posts, and have a chance to win a pretty sweet collection of CassaFire merchandise.

If all goes according to plan, we'll have CassaFire at the top of the best-sellers list!  If the plan fails... well, it won't fail.  Failing is not an option.

Support our resident ninja!  He'd do the same for you.  :o)
