CassaDark – Mystery in Space

I'm delighted today to welcome author, fellow blogger, friend and Ninja Captain Alex J. Cavanaugh to Thoughts in Progress to talk about his latest release, CassaDark.

Welcome, Alex. What are your thoughts on “Mystery in Space.”

When most people want to wrap themselves in a mystery, they reach for a book in the mystery or thriller. But that’s not the only genre capable of boasting a mystery or two. Multiple mysteries reside in my latest science fiction book, CassaDark. The hero, Bassan, encounters many unknowns.

Let me highlight some!

The first revolves around a man Bassan meets on Procura Space Station. He’s a Kintal like Bassan, but who is Zendar really? Is he telling the truth when he claims the people on his planet are dying? What does he really want and can he be trusted?

Once Bassan reaches Zendar’s planet, Ugar, the mystery continues. In the settlement of Jaree, he wonders–where are all the dying people? Zendar had shown him visions of hundreds ill. Where are they?

Then Bassan begins to question the true motivation of the leaders of Jaree. Why do they really need him? What secrets are they hiding? Bassan’s unique connection to ancient Kintal technology–does that come into play?

I could keep going, but I don’t want to reveal too many of the mysteries! Suffice to say, there are many unknown layers and not all of them truthful.

So, if you fancy a bit of mystery in space, please check out CassaDark.

Alex, thanks for sharing this. CassaDark is a great combination of mystery and science.

“Cavanaugh returns to the world of his Cassa Series…for a fourth inventive space opera.” – Publisher’s Weekly

His world is unraveling…

Bassan’s father is stepping down from command. His best friend almost dies when Bassan freezes. Now, he’s being sent across the galaxy to speak at an important conference. Despite saving the eleven races years ago, he’s paralyzed by doubt. Could things get any worse?

Once there, new acquaintance Zendar convinces Bassan to visit his planet for a humanitarian mission. Bassan’s special connection to ancient technology is the key to saving Zendar’s people. One problem though—it’s a prisoner planet.

On Ugar, he discovers things aren’t so straightforward. As each truth reveals itself, the situation grows more desperate. If he can’t find the right answers, he might die along with Zendar’s people. Can Bassan summon the courage to be a hero again?
