The was a enjoyable sci-fi read that took some time to get going but has a really good finish. I enjoyed the characters once I determined the direction the story was going in and they came to life in an action packed finish. Looking forward to reading more in this series.4 Stars for a fun read.

Alex J. Cavanugh’s science fiction books have always been a bit “different” than the standard science fiction fare in that he tends to mix biology and technology rather liberally. In his Cassastar series for instance the pilots are people with a skill that enabled them to teleport their ship through...

If you know me, you know I've loved all of Alex's books. This one was no different.

I love that Alex writes complex stories that ...

I really liked the first book in the Cassastar series. The second was also good reading and I have been looking forward to this one, the third in the series.

Alex J. Cavanaugh's previous novels, CassaStar and CassaFire, have been compared to the militaristic sci-fi novels of Heinlein - and with good reason. There is definitely a 'pulp' feel to his work in that it's straightforward in the telling, a linear sort of adventure story that hasn't forgotten the...

Cavanaugh makes world building on the galactic scale look easy. He knows how to build on the conflict from the first two books in the series and raise the stakes even higher. The stakes affect the entire known universe, but Cavanaugh also makes it very personal. Byron is still just as stubborn and p...

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Alex did a great job with the second book in the series. In fact, I still haven't read the first one (but I will now for sure). He did a great job in giving just enough pertinent information that I never felt lost even though I started in the middle of the story. Byro...
