Taking the World By CassaStorm!

I'm thrilled to help Alex Cavanaugh celebrate the release of his new book, CassaStorm. At the sign-up, we had the option of asking Alex a question about the book, and he would answer at the release announcement. So -- here's my question:

Q:  Why do you refer to your series as space opera? What is a space opera?

A:  I didn’t even know what space opera was until I landed my publisher. I just knew science fiction in general. Space opera tends to be lighter, more focused on adventure, and often epic in scope.

And now, book number 3 of the epic, bestselling series!


 
CassaStorm

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…

“With a talent for worldbuilding and a compelling cast of characters, Alex J. Cavanaugh combines high powered space battles and the challenges of family dynamics to provide readers a space opera with heart.”
- Elizabeth S. Craig, author of the Southern Quilting and Myrtle Clover mysteries

“I thought the revelation was going to be one thing and I was completely wrong … CassaStorm pushes the limits…”
- Tyson Mauermann, Speculative Reviews

  10. I didn't know what a space opera was until I started blogging and met some of the great sci-fi writers like Alex and M.Pax. I'd never even heard of it before. Great question and I'm so happy for Alex!

  11. Hey Gwen,

    I suppose it wouldn't be a daytime Space Opera. All the best for Alex. And thank you for being a part of the announcement, Gwen.
