“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

CassaStar was only 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 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
