Cassafire by Alex J. Cavanaugh
5.0
CassaFire by Alex J. Cavanaugh engages the reader from the first page, and doesn’t set down for landing until the very last pages. The second book in a (hoped for) trilogy about Byron, this book takes us further into Byron’s inner character. Even though he learned something about true brotherly friendship from Bassa in the first book, CassaStar, Byron has walled himself off from relationships again as he explores new planets and regions of space. He’s bored with his job, since it doesn’t allow him much time for pure flight. His private little world cracks when he meets Athee, a Tgren woman whose telepathic abilities, piloting skills and enthusiasm threaten to break down all his barriers. Will he be able to resist her?
This is a tightly written book that weaves together action, flight, alien technology, and well-written relationships. Byron learns a few things about friendship and romance, and we see, again, how caring for others makes him a stronger person.
