Welcome, Alex J. Cavanaugh, author of a new space opera, CassaDark. He's here to discuss the elements that make his current book a fitting read for all readers even those that love a good murder mystery. Please, take it away Alex!
Murder!
Mystery! Mayhem!
Wait a minute…my book is science fiction, space opera/adventure.
Nobody is murdered. There’s no mystery to solve. Mayhem? Hmm…maybe my book does
have those elements.
All right, there isn’t an out-and-out murder. No police or
detectives are involved. But there are people being killed. In a way that is
hidden to the rest of the galaxy. Many live in a world where death lurks around
every corner. And people do die. Maybe not murder, but death happens. (Of
course, people on the planet kill one another, so that technically is murder.)
Mystery…actually, for the main character, there is a lot. Bassan
is a bit naïve. He believes even as he doubts. He begins to see things are not
as he assumed. There are mysteries to unravel—what is the truth? So, there is a
bit of mystery.
Now, mayhem. There is a lot of that! Bassan is sent across the
galaxy. He gets dumped on a strange planet. People try to kill him. And the
people he’s with. His future is completely in disarray. Dogs and cats, living
together—mass hysteria! No wait, that’s Ghostbusters. But you get the idea.
There is a lot of upheaval and peril, and Bassan is put through the wringer.
So, I guess CassaDark does have a lot of those mystery elements.

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 fear and 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 secret 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?
