Here's some info you'll definitely want to know about Alex and his newest book:
CassaFire
by Alex J. Cavanaugh
CassaStar was just the beginning
The Vindicarn War is a distant memory and Byrons 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 its 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 Tgrens civilization or a weapon of unimaginable power? Tensions mount as their new allies are suspicious of the Cassans 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 Byrons 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.

Donea, thank you! It is so good to hear from you. I've missed you.
Not heard of this man before. I'll check it out.
I've visited dozens of blogs today celebrating Cassafire but yours might have the best title.
Yay for Alex!
How wonderful, Alex. Best of luck.
Hey, Donea,
I had to drop by and say hi... We certainly have lost contact, haven't we?
I hope to change that now. I am back again, trying to reconnect. I hope this time I can keep it going. You know how life is... right?
I hope all is well in your world.
Michael

These kind of book aren't really my thing but after reading your post I decided to give it another whirl. Thank you so much for helping me get out of my comfort zone.
I found your blog from the GUTGAA event. I couldn't resist checking out a few blogs before the event started and following them as well. Russo @ www.threegnomes.blogspot.com
