Amazon Best Selling Series Concludes with CassaStorm
Pikeville, NC (PRWEB) September 17, 2013 -- The final installment in author Alex J. Cavanaugh’s best-selling series is set to take the book world by storm. The first two books, CassaStar and CassaFire, were Amazon Science Fiction Best Sellers in both the US and UK, and CassaStorm is poised to repeat that achievement. The Cassa series boasts ties to classic space opera and has been compared to Ender's Game and Heinlein's early work.
The series’ success is due to its appeal beyond the science fiction fan base due to the author's reliance on a strong, character-drive story. The series continues with protagonist Byron and introduces his ten-year-old son, drawing in those who enjoy MG and YA fiction. Built around a space opera story arc, the latest installment carries themes of family, sacrifice, and the battle against racial discrimination.
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.
