Spotlight: CassaStar Series by Alex J. Cavanaugh

I'm thrilled to be spotlighting Alex J. Cavanaugh on my blog today. Like so many other authors, I met Alex on-line. He's not only a wonderful author, he's a great guy. His space opera series is an Amazon Best Seller. From amazing stories, to eye-catching covers, and entertaining book trailers, this is one series you don't want to miss.

CassaStorm (book 3)
By Alex J Cavanaugh

From the Amazon Best Selling Series!

A storm gathers across the galaxy…

Commanding the Cassan base on Tgren, Byron thought he’d put the days of battle behind him. As a galaxy-wide war encroaches upon the desert planet, Byron’s ideal life is threatened and he’s caught between the Tgrens and the Cassans.

After enemy ships attack the desert planet, Byron discovers another battle within his own family. The declaration of war between all ten races triggers nightmares in his son, threatening to destroy the boy’s mind.

Meanwhile the ancient alien ship is transmitting a code that might signal the end of all life in the galaxy. And the mysterious probe that almost destroyed Tgren twenty years ago could return. As his world begins to crumble, Byron suspects a connection. The storm is about to break, and Byron is caught in the middle…

“CassaStorM is a touching and mesmerizing space opera full of action and emotion with strong characters and a cosmic mystery.”
– Edi’s Book Lighhouse

"Cavanaugh makes world building on the galactic scale look easy. The stakes affect the entire known universe and yet Cavanaugh makes it intensely personal for our hero. The final installment of this series will break your heart and put it back together."
- Charity Bradford, science fantasy author of The Magic Wakes

Book trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67YBjQve00U

To pilot the fleet’s finest ship…

“…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

I hope you enjoyed the trailers as much as I did!

    I read the first book in the series, and thoroughly enjoyed it, but haven't gotten to the other two yet. They're still patiently waiting their turn on my Kindle.
