My friend and fellow blogger Alex Cavanaugh's latest book is being officially released to the public today. I've already bought and read an early release. I'm a big fan of science fiction and I loved it! It's got a great pace and plenty of action. Please check it out! The book trailer as well as information for purchase, is below.
To pilot the fleet’s finest ship…Much to Byron’s chagrin, the toughest instructor in the fleet takes notice of the young pilot. Haunted by a past tragedy, Bassa eventually sees through Byron's tough exterior and insolence. When a secret talent is revealed during training, Bassa feels compelled to help Byron achieve his full potential.
As war brews on the edge of space, time is running short. Byron requires a navigator of exceptional quality to survive, and Bassa must make a decision that could well decide the fate of both men. Will their skills be enough as they embark on a mission that may stretch their abilities to the limit?

“…calls to mind the youthful focus of Robert Heinlein’s early military sc-fi, as well as the excitement of space opera epitomized by the many Star Wars novels. Fast-paced military action and a youthful protagonist make this a good choice for both young adult and adult fans of space wars.” - Library Journal------------------------------------------------

How nice of you to post about your friend's book release, Pat. Amazing video, too. Hope Alex is wildly successful with his book. I'm normally not a SciFi fan, sorry, but let me share with you that when I entered China for the first time in 1985 I was carrying Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. :-D
ReplyDeletePat, I thought I had the wrong blog, I expected more terrifying creatures. It looks interesting, I'll look at the blog of your friend. A greeting.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great review and it was the second one I saw today. My Dad is a big scifi fan and will have to check it out. Besides, we live in the carolinas too!

Now I have to read this. It's so cool to see that you and dez and alex all follow my blog and all were talking about this book this week. One degree of separation always freaks me out.
ReplyDeleteLola - Dolls are toys, clowns are evil! I hope they're not pissed at me, cause they are already in my house, mocking me...
ReplyDeleteCal - You are so right. I never really thought about it like that. that is freaky...
