Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
This is a really fun meme!
The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.
Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!
My 56 for this week is from:
The Battle For Darracia
Books 1 thru 3
by Michael Phillip Cash
Genre: Science Fiction
Since this is actually three books, I’m sharing an excerpt from what would be page 56 in each one.
From page 56 in Schism
Every so often he caught her black star shaped- eyes watching him. It was forbidden for her to make eye contact with a royal, and her boldness astounded him.
~~
From page 56 in Collision
“One slightly broken Darracian against fifteen thugs. No matter how talented you are, the odds were not in your favor.”
~~
From page 56 in Risen
“You are destroyers. You don’t give back to the planet. Take, take, take – always making changes.”

Read on if you want to know more.
Synopsis
The Battle for Darracia Books I, II, and III, are now combined into one epic novel!
On the planet Darracia, an ever-widening social gap between its inhabitants is causing turmoil that is fracturing a once peaceful world. Struggling with his identity, nineteen year old Prince V’sair must harness the power of the elusive Fireblade, the secret to a warrior’s heart, in order to overcome his uncle Staf Nuen’s lust for supremacy. Will the energy of the Elements guide the young prince to his true destiny or will Staf Nuen conquer Darracia?

Thanks so much for visiting fuonlyknew!
You can find a list of my reviews HERE.
the 56 from Schism is really interesting. I like how you included all three novels in the series. I hope you enjoy all them all.
I thought it would be fun since the book contains all three.
That cover is blah. The snippets are much better than I expected though. Still not a read for me, but I hope you love it! Happy weekend!
Science fiction isn’t evryone’s cuppa tea:)
I am curious, although not my usual read. Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “THE GARDEN OF SMALL BEGINNINGS”
I used to read a lot of science fiction but then got away from it. I’ve found some good books recently and now starting to read more in the genre again.
That advice in the third book sounds very invasive. TAKE TAKE TAKE. Ugh. My Friday Quotes
Yeah, sounds familiar!
Sounds good! The excerpts definitely leave me curious for more. Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
I love having the omnibus in paperback. I can go right from one to the next!
Hope you like this 3 in one book! I forgot to do a Friday post…lol.
I know you’ve been busy with your art project:)
This sounds like an interesting series. I like that all of the stories are combined into one. Thanks for sharing it! 🙂
I like having the omnibus too. You can go right from one to the next without leaving the book.
Looks good, Laura! Looks like one I’m reading now… Multiplarity! Will add it to read later. 🙂
I’ll have to check out Multiplarity!
I like how you’ve shared each 56. 🙂
Happy reading!
It was fun to share each one!
I hope you enjoy it. I’m not a big sci-fi reader myself.
I used to gobble up science fiction but fell away from it. Now I’m enjoying them again.
This series is one I haven’t heard of but I am intrigued now! Great post 🙂
I’ve read most of Michael’s books and this is a different genre from his others. Excited to see how that goes:)
When I was scrolling down the page for the first time I thought this book has something to do with Battlestar Galactica because of the beginning of the title and the font XD It apparently doesn’t but it seems to be an interesting story judging by the synopsis. Enjoy!

I’ve got my fingers crossed as this is different from his other books:)
Hmmm…I wonder if I have this one.
sherry @ fundinmental
You probably do. This was the last one of his I had to read.
