Review: Collision: The Battle for Darracia (The Darracia Saga #2) by Michael Phillip Cash

The Darracia saga continues with all the key players spread out and searching for answers throughout the solar system. Prince V'sair struggles to hold his fractured kingdom together without help from his family. His stepbrother Zayden is on a vengeful hunt for his evil uncle Staf Nuen. Tulani navigates her two worlds trying to bring them together. Staf Nuen, the orchestrator of the original coup, is making unholy alliances with nefarious new allies. Like the comet zipping across the horizon, all the different factions are heading for a collision course that will test both their faith and power. 


Overall Rating:  4.25 Rockin’ ★★★★

In the second book of Michael Phillip Cash's Battle for Darracia, Michael transmits more from the wonderful world of Darracia and its people.  Again, with the vast array of characters and their plight for survival and coming together.  This is a beautifully crafted work of science fiction that will not disappoint!

Now King of Darracia, V'sair will advance to the throne after his father's death by his uncle, as he struggles to continue his father and mother's long upstanding agenda of making all Darracians equal.  With Tulani being gone to the Desa with her grandeam Bobbin to learn more about the Quyroo way, he is missing her terribly.  She will be his queen one day soon, but not until she has found her place among her people.  V'sair wants to bring about the change that is needed for his world, but encounters obstacles that endlessly thwart his goal.  As he pursues his directives, he holds tightly to his connection with the Elements while he battles against the evils that would decimate his world.

This book brings to light a new threat to Darracia and new characters into the fold.  Some of the characters I loved immediately, while others I wanted to hate.  The way this author forms his words had me instantly hooked and longing to find out how it would all come to an end.  However, as to be expected like the first installment, this book left me hanging. I long to find out how everything will come to fruition.  Will V'sair finally understand his purpose in the world?  Can he overtake the evil that is threatening to ruin Darracia?  You intrigue my space fiction boundaries, Michael.

Hero -  4.5 stars
Heroine - 4.5 stars
Steam Level: 3.0 stars
Plot: 4.5 stars
Cliffhanger: Yes

Would I recommend this book:  Yes!  If you want a really good story line of scifi with a twist of human error, this is the series for you.  It will take you into a world of science fiction that is everything fantastical about other worlds. 


Would I read other books by this author:  Yes.  Michael Phillps Cash is on my reading radar.  I love what he has done with this series, The Battle of Darracia.  I can't wait to read more of his work.
